In all my reading, I have never come across a book with surfing as its backdrop..until now! I was catching up on my NPR reading and came across this article about Breath, by Tim Winton. Click here to read what Barnes and Noble had to say about it.
Has anyone read it?

This Looks Good!
Doesn’t this cover grab you? I heard about Out Stealing Horses from one of the electronic newsletters I receive. Here is the blurb from Barnes & Noble:
Out Stealing Horses has been embraced across the world as a classic, a novel of universal relevance and power. Panoramic and gripping, it tells the story of Trond Sander, a sixty-seven-year-old man who has moved from the city to a remote, riverside cabin, only to have all the turbulence, grief, and overwhelming beauty of his youth come back to him one night while he’s out on a walk. From the moment Trond sees a strange figure coming out of the dark behind his home, the reader is immersed in a decades-deep story of searching and loss, and in the precise, irresistible prose of a newly crowned master of fiction.
Yet another book to add to my “to-read” pile! If any of you have read it, let me know.
