Currently, I have picked up a classic writer, J. Fenimore Cooper. Most know him as the author of "The Last of the Mohicans," if you know the author at all. But I have set about to read the other four novels as well, that are all related to "The Last of the Mohicans." In chronological order by read, they are: "The Deerslayer", "The Last of the Mohicans", "The Pathfinder", "The Pioneers", and "The Prairie". I picked this book up at Barnes & Noble for a nice price of $3. Check out theirs and Borders clearance sections, you will find plenty of good reads for less then $10.
Unknowingly, I started "The Pioneers" first, but I am going to stop and begin with "The Deerslayer". They are called "The Leatherstocking Chronicles", detailing the life of "Natty" Bumppo, a.k.a., "Leatherstocking".
The wtriting is so detailed and beautiful, you feel as if you are there in the East, the cold snow biting your cheeks, you can smell the powder from a freshly fired rifle, you can see the horses stamping impatiently in the cold.Well, you will just have to read it for yourself to see what I mean.
This particular book contains the five novels in teeny tiny font written on over 1200 pages. I am sure I will immensely enjoy this read.
Keep reading my blog to hear the tales of "Natty" and the many other books and works I will be reading.
