Last Of The Breed- Louis L' Amour

Last of the Breed, a 1987 book by Louis L'Amour, tells the fictional story of Native American United States Air Force pilot Major Joseph Makatozi, shot down by the Soviets over the ocean between Russia and Alaska and then captured. Although the exact time is never stated, it appears to be the mid- to late 1980s, as Mikhail Gorbachev's rise to power is mentioned. It was L'Amour's second-to-last published novel.

Sticking with George Orwell for now. Just reread 1984. It's remarkable the parallels to todays leftists. Presently reading another Orwell book, The Road To Wigan Pier. Contains some interesting observations on the state of class in England in the 1930's. The devastating effects of wide scale unemployment for coal miners.

I visited the library for the first time in a few years. I'd been getting my books from other sources. Anyway from the Jemez Springs NM library I checked out the book Go Set A Watchman, by Harper Lee. Actually written before To Kill A Mockingbird, with some of the same characters.

I start my day by reading the comics in the Albuquerque Journal. Later on I watch yesterdays NBC News on my computer.
To balance the news out, I go to I Heart Radio or Netflix and listen to standup comedy.

So late last night I'm home alone reading my Stephen King novel. The book is getting weirder and the phone rings. I don't hear a message so I keep reading. Finally I get up to see who has called. There is no message on my answering machine but my caller ID shows: I have no name.

It took me about a month (and a good nightmare) to read this 500 page story. It was worth the effort.
