The Lives of Rocks

I have read several books by Rick Bass, the author of The Lives of Rocks. I thoroughly enjoy his writing and am always pleased when I pick up something that I have not yet read by him. He writes about nature and man's relationship to it. His writing reminds me of Wallace Stegner. The Lives of Rocks is a collection of 10 short stories all sharing the themes of nature, man's triumphs and losses and love. If you enjoy authors like Stegner or Ivan Doig then you will most likely enjoy Rick Bass.
