I usually have a few books going at once. One that I just started is "Mississippi Solo: A River Quest" by Eddy L. Harris about
a man that decides at the age of 30 to canoe from the source of the Mississippi to New Orleans. Less than 100 pages into it, so I can't say too much.
Also I started a CIA novel "The Company" not too long ago, so I'll probably continue it. My problem is that my depression etc seems to prevent
me from concentrating too well and so my reading suffers as a result. I've got a lot of books that I've started but haven't continued.

>. One that I just started is "Mississippi Solo: A River Quest" by Eddy L. Harris about

Actually, it is a sad story about a young guy with mental illness who disappears. He also wrote a book about ice climbing, but the name escapes me at the moment.

It fits the bill in terms of length of concentration, and I also discovered that I really like short stories a lot. BTW, I also love to listen to Selected Shorts on NPR--it is a program of short stories read by actors to a live audience. I just love this. I look forward to it every week. there is something so wonderful about listening to a good story read aloud, and read well.

I checked the web site, and it doesn't list all the times for local public radio stations. It should. The best thing to do is check your public radio station for when it is on locally.
Here is the website anyway--it lists the stories that will be read:
