Lists of Bests: ruralmysteries's "Rural Mysteries Book Club Reading List" http://www.listsofbests.com/list/30536 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". http://www.ruralmysteries.com/bookclub.shtml Sat, 14 Nov 2009 19:53:27 GMT en-us 0 50 37 0 0 Nature Noir: A Park Ranger's Patrol in the Sierra http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/1045510 <div id="position">1</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/1045510"><img src="http://ec2.images-amazon.com/images/P/0618711953.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Jordan Fisher Smith</div> Thirteen Moons http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/2307913 <div id="position">2</div><div class="item-image" style="padding:3px;float:left;"><a href="http://www.allconsuming.net/item/view/2307913"><img src="http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/P/0884964418.01._SCTHUMBZZZ_.jpg" /></a></div><div style="font-size: 12px;"> by Robert P.
