Before there was Brokeback...

After the mediocre at best writing of Dan Brown, I'm spoiling myself with the wordsmithery of E. Annie Proulx. Yep, she's the author now famous for penning Brokeback Mountain but another book of hers became a movie as well. Remember The Shipping News?. Despite its success as a movie, there's more than just plot happening here. I'm only 1/3 of the way through (I fell asleep on yesterday's train....) but more to come.
