What I'm Reading Now -- Young Men and Fire

A long while back, I heard something the Mann Gulch fire.  I can't even remember what it was -- some news story of bit of a podcast or something.  It was probably inspired by one of the summer wildfires of recent years.

In any case, the news/podcast was was interesting enough that it led me to purchase Young Men and Fire, the Norman MacLean book about the Mann Gulch fire.  That was some time ago now, and it has been sitting on my shelf for a while, unread. 

I have done a bit of recreational reading about the fire.  There's a site with pretty decent images here.

I'll report back on the book once I've finished it.  Hopefully it'll go faster than Franny and Zooey -- so far, so good!
