If that even makes sense. Perhaps I’m wishing for a book that doesn’t or cannot exist. I want to read something that is relaxing while stimulating and satisfying curiosity. I dont want something juvenile. It’s ok if it’s deep and thought provoking, but doesn’t have to be. It should not have conflict.

When I imagine such a book, I think of beautiful descriptions of a forest and the things that live there. The weather. The scenery.

I just had the thought that what Im describing is poetry, but poetry is something which I’ve struggled to enjoy.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

    If you like The Emerald Mile, I would also recommend The Tower by Kelly Cordes. I don’t think it is as strong, but it is another book at the juncture of outdoor adventure and history, and I liked it a lot.
