Last week we had another book club meeting. We read (or tried to read) Close Range, by Annie Prioux. It was a collection of short stories that took place out in Wyoming. It certainly was an interesting book. Many of the stories had a slightly disturbing element to them. The book isn't one I'll reccomend, however, it WILL give me things to talk about for YEARS to come. Thanks Andy!!! Actually, despite the ick factor, it did give pause to think about the remote-ness of WY and how different things are there. Even to this day they can't just run around the corner to the Supe Junior when they need a case of diet cokes. Communities are quite rural, and the lack of personal interaction could definitely lead to some of those personal idiosyncracies.
