I'd probably choose Slickrock--its maybe my favorite. Or Barnstorming, the latest one, cause its about the themes I'm dwelling on now. Lots of horses in both.<br /><br />Seriously, the book I read most recently, and would have carried on the subway if I was riding it, is called "Lets Take the Long Way Home" by Gail Caldwell (I think). Its a memoir, and features not horses, but dogs. Very well written, very moving.Laura Crumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15200878892304748308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-32632585090939263482012-07-11T11:52:04.874-07:002012-07-11T11:52:04.874-07:00Where are you riding to in the subway wearing your...Where are you riding to in the subway wearing your paddock boots? For some reason, I thought you weren't able to ride anymore. I do recall a post about Central Park.<br /><br />You need to read CHOSEN BY A HORSE and the one after it that's even better (can't remember the author's name or the title to the second one. Yeah, the mind is the first thing to go.)Alisonhttp://www.alisonhartbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-71002884180151951652012-07-11T03:27:45.425-07:002012-07-11T03:27:45.425-07:00I have NEVER READ The Silver Brumby!!

As for me, I'd probably take my Nook, because not only would I have so many different books at my disposal, but I'd look ultra-cool. ;-)Linda Bensonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17948970237555890150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037107797013641705.post-69346019921129371212012-07-10T16:02:13.779-07:002012-07-10T16:02:13.779-07:00Two words (or maybe one word?):

But I do want to share the time I took a train into NYC (From Poughkeepsie) and reread the same line for close to 30 minutes! <br />I was taking a midday train. I was the only person on the car. Somewhere around Ossining a group of thugs got on the train. They were noisy and obnoxious. They were using foul language. I felt threatened. I tried so hard to forget them, but ended up just reading and rereading the same line. I shudder, even now, just remembering the trip!Dreaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113432418609414054noreply@blogger.com
