Turning the pages of 2018

So of my 2018 reads

What have you read this year?
My unofficial goal is one a month, though reading goes in spurts, with several going at a time, so  I've finished 30 in different genres. Same as last year.
You can see what the first 12 books were here:

• First half of year books: First six months
• July: Readings

Since then, there have been 18.
Most recently finished, The Patch, by John McPhee, my favorite living writer, a series of essays, purchased this week from Best of Books, Edmond, where I buy most of mine.
Yep, non-fiction, which is my usual preference, as a journalist. Here the others are.

Non-Fiction, eight more this second half of the year, in no particular order:

•  The Seven Storey Mountain, Thomas Merton's  autobiography of faith.
• Mountains of the Mind, Robert MacFarlane of Cambridge U., who has become my second favorite living writer, much like McPhee.
• The Rings of Saturn, W.G. Seabald, walking tour of England, thanks to MacFarlane's twitter book club readings
• Atlas of a Lost World, Craig Childs, Travels in Ice-Age America.
• Heart of the Land, Essays on the last great places, edited for Nature Conservancy.
• America's Railroad, Robert Royem, guidebook to Durango and Silverton RR.
• The Traveling Feast, Rick Bass, on the road with his heroes.
• Rum Curious, history and tasting guide, Fred Minnick and Martin Cate

Poetry, runs in spurts. One weekend in particular, at the Oklahoma Festival of the Book, I bought three from Oklahoma friends Ken Hada and Dorothy Alexander, and Susan brought home two others as gifts that day.

• Bring An Extry Mule, Ken Hada
