About five years ago, Chris bought me Plan B for the Middle Class<\/a><\/em> by Ron Carlson. I looked at him blankly. He said I had mentioned that I enjoyed that author.<\/p>\n

I had no memory of the author or what would have prompted me to say I liked him. But it is completely typical of Chris to be paying closer attention to what pleases me than I do.<\/p>\n

It was a good book, a nice collection of short stories.<\/p>\n

I found the CD of Five Skies<\/a> by the same author a couple weeks ago and thought, “Wasn’t that the guy…?”<\/p>\n

The selection of CDs at my library is small, so I grabbed it. It was either that or one of the LEFT BEHIND series (not gonna happen).<\/p>\n

Five Skies is a gorgeous story. It smells of men in the open air. I tend to like men at any time, but this book had me besotted with terse masculinity. <\/p>\n

Gorgeous. Nothing is what you’d expect, but the surprises are not the a cheap kind. They are honest and stuff that seem perfectly right in the setting.<\/p>\n

Now I have to go find the rest of what this guy wrote<\/p>\n
