Author Annie Dillard pointed me toward Louisiana wonders in nature (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For those of us who love the good, green world, Annie Dillard offered an abiding reminder that nature isnât something you have to go deep into the woods to experience. Dillard, who died Sept. 15 at 81, rose to fame in 1974 with âPilgrim at Tinker Creek,â an account of walks near her house in Roanoke, Virginia. She was sharply attentive to frogs, birds, trees, wind and water, but her excursions typically had her back home by dark. That book inspired readers everywhere to pay more attention

Read excerpt
Weâve reached the midpoint of the year, which can be a good time to ask how all those New Yearâs resolutions we made last January are panning out. As this year opened, I resolved to record the name of every book I read. The idea came after I wrote about my friend Linda Lightfoot, whoâs kept such a reading journal since 2005. I was also inspired after visiting with Tricia Day, a Baton Rouge woman whose late mother, Kitty Day, kept a reading journal from 1937 until her death in 2007. The sto
