Three more reads

 Butcher's Crossing, by John Williams. What a great read. Decided on this one when I saw the Nicolas Cage movie coming out; looked good. And yes, this is a great read. Old West, close to twentieth century. Lots of bison/buffalo. Lots of pain. Cant' wait to see the movie. 

Changing Places, by David Lodge. Campus novel extraordinaire. A Brit and an American switch places. And wives. Very campusy. Very good read. Will read the next two in the trilogy. 

Arthur: The dog who crossed the jungle to find a home, by Mikael Lindnord. Another book read based on seeing a movie trailer. True story. Great story. The pain this Swede went through (self/nation-induced) to get this diseased stray to come home with him. Quite moving.
