Patience
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
This is one of most peaceful books I have ever read. Yet is it filled with tiny action of the desert and the river. I can hear the water flow over the river stones. I can watch the raven wait. As usual, Barry Lopez's way with words takes your breath away but the words also stop the reader in his/her tracks as the full meaning of patience and watchfulness is displayed. To stop and be immersed in a place is something few people in Western society take the time to do. This book is a guide to what might await us if we dare to sit and watch with extraordinary patience.
River Notes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
I am a big fan of the old slim version of River Notes. It has such a beautiful flow, like rivers. I have lived all my life near rivers. My soul belongs to them. I am so greatful for this writing. Lopez takes you down this path that borders on lunacy, but having spent plenty of alone time on rivers, working out the various troubles of life as I roamed, I understand this perfectly. Not a book for the faint-hearted, I've found out. I have given copies to several friends who didn't understand it. But when I do visit with someone who understands Lopez, I know I'm onto something.

this book, along with "the old man and the sea", would have to be my favorite books of all time. If you are looking for a great reading experience, this is definitely the book for you
