Mountain Climbing
and Adventure Books
This category of books have been of interest to me ever since I climbed
local peaks such as Mt. Hood, Mt. Adams and Mt. Rainier. I have compiled
three comprehensive lists with our recommendations.
I have also compiled pages for each of the major awards
that are given for
mountaineering and outdoor adventure books. These awards showcase
biographies, expedition accounts, fiction, children's books, guidebooks and
more.

backyard vineyard.
We also include two recommended book lists on our
website:

Photography Books
Over the last 2-3 years, we have highlighted a number of

Children's Books
Children's books
that have captivated our two boys or their cousins.
The Seattle Children's Theatre presents a full season of
plays. One service that they offer is a list of books related to every
production that will help children get more perspective. We have compiled
these
recommended book lists for the last three seasons. |

History
and Current Event Books
As part of the development of the family history portion
of our website, we have collected a set of
history
and current event books that are
related to our family's background. The
books in this list either span the era of our family history or that are of interest
to us in some of our other pursuits. |

On Our
Reading Table
Our current book list show the books that are open today in our house and among our family.
What we're reading says something about our set of interests. This list
tends to get updated quarterly so it's really sort of a 'best of' list of
books that are on our personal lists.

Reunion Book Lists
In the last few years, we have been part of several family
reunions. One interesting activity has been the development of a list of
books recommended by our extended family.

Reflecting my
reading tastes in my youth, I have put together a list of all of the books
that have won the Hugo and Nebula Awards
for best science fiction.
Other books that
we have liked over the last year but that don't fall into any of the categories
listed above. |

built a list of the bestseller books and other items that some of our visitors have
purchased as
