Reading Lessons, I tried to suppress the suspicion that McEwan had written a long novel simply to show that he had the stamina. ![]() ![]() ![]() Dog Man and the rest of your favourite characters must join together in this heroic and hilarious, ALL NEW adventure.

This is a rare view of a quest to experience nature in its purest form - the silence, the struggle, the overwhelming beauty. Here, the legendary author of The Monkey Wrench Gang, Abbey's Road and many other critically acclaimed books vividly captures the essence of his life during three seasons as a park ranger in southeastern Utah.
