I was sad when I saw who compiled the list of greatest Oregon books because two of Mr. Doyle's books belong on that list. <i>Mink River</i> was published in 2010 and <i>Martin Marten</i> was published in 2016. I was very sorry to hear of Mr. Doyle's passing Bob and Aprilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12769856043752425717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508267865632365231.post-36484961727409154682009-03-03T13:03:00.000-08:002009-03-03T13:03:00.000-08:00I really thought The River Why by David James Dunc...I really thought <I>The River Why</I> by David James Duncan was on this list. I started it yesterday and it is plenty entertaining. Maybe more about fishing than Oregon, but it is set in Oregon. <BR/><BR/>It's on some list, as I recall.
