ruralmysteries's "Rural Mysteries Book Club Reading List"

Some Books We’ve Read This Millennium

The Rural Mysteries Book Club mostly conducts research and investigation of the North Fork Polygon via bicycle or internet. But every once in a while we’ll read material that’s been written on little pieces of paper. The books on this list are essential if you want to "Smell the Truth".
