Audio and Three NonFic

Audiobook on CD

Doc by Maria Doria Russell. 14 CDs at 16.5 hours. Tubercular John Henry Holliday leaves Georgia for the dry Southwest. Holliday ends up a professional gambler and his whore girlfriend finds him high stakes games. They travel to Dodge City for the money and meet Wyatt Earp.

NonFiction

Computing for Seniors by Marty Matthews, et al.

Birds of North America: the complete photographic guide to every species edited by Francois Vuilleumier. This is by Dorling Kindersley so you know the photorgraphs are very high quality. You also know that the Marbled Murrelet relies on marine and forested habitats. And that the Canyon Towhee has a stubby, conical bill. Did you know there is a bird called the Philadelphia Vireo? I wonder if that bird made it into Birdy. Boy Number Two will like this book.

Vogue Knitting Mittens and Gloves by editors of Vogue Knitting Magazine. Nice pictures of pretty girls wearing wool.
