I have read most of Elmer Kelton's works & they are not necessarily riveting, can't-put-'em-down page burners but more salt of the earth, realistic stories. I honestly don't remember that much about this one, it has been several years since, but I do remember that it seemed somewhat slow & depressing which I thought was kinda the effect that he intended (?). I do enjoy reading any of his works tho. I love to read book reviews from people who I know have similar interests…might find a good read that way, Thanks!

About 10 years ago a colleague suggested that I read The Time It Never Rained. I've found that it's given me as many insights on the nature of change in ranching and rural life as any single scientific data source. I often require it in classes (although future natural resource managers tend to wonder why they have to read a novel) and definitely require it of all my grad students.

I have never read it, can't recall the title, but maybe its time! Kman has an Elmer Kelton on the bookshelf. I have never read it, can’t recall the title, but maybe its time!
