I am, once again, proud to have read more books than I bought. I also continue to practice immersive reading -- reading and listening to the audiobook at the same time -- which I find satisfying. I found Marantz's book to be the most thought provoking book, although I think it had some flaws that I hope to describe in a review in the near future. I made a serious effort to read more by and about American Indians this month and feel satisfied. I definitely want to read more by Graham Jones and Alexie. Gwynne's book about the Comanches was simultaneously satisfying because it described exciting events, but it certainly could have neen re-worked to show more respect for the cultures he described.
