Debbie – I will give Relic a try – I need to see if the library has it on audio.

Relic is really good! You should definitely read that one. I cannot wait to read The Maze Runner.

Belle – the Conrad Stargard books are not easy to find – I found some used copies for my dad last year, but they’re out of print.

I’ve never read any Louis L’Amour – I’m not big on westerns. But I loved Relic! I’ve added the Leo Frankowski books to my wish list – unfortunately, my library doesn’t carry any of his titles, and Bookmooch doesn’t have any either.

Tasha – I find the idea of a German grandfather reading American westerns in translation wonderful!

I’ve read a few Louis L’Amours, but I never got into him for some reason. My grandfather has a whole bookshelf full of his books, as well as a few other Western writers, but they’re all German translations! My Deutsch isn’t that good, unfortunately.

Sandy – I love it when I find a great sci fi novel like The Maze Runner, because I know Dad will want to read it and then we can talk about it.

Wendy – if you ever want to give L’Amour a try, but aren’t a big fan of Westerns, you should try The Walking Drum. It’s a historical novel full of adventure. His memoir Education of a Wandering Man is a wonderful ode to books, too.

How cool! I don’t think my dad has ever read a novel in his life. My mom was the reader. Dad always worked in the fields from sunup to sundown, came in dirty and tired, and usually fell asleep in front of the TV! Likewise, my husband is not a reader either, unless it is the newpaper or some article about investments. This is a great, diverse list…a dad list! I love that he has read The Maze Runner!
