I liked The Dog Stars and just finished The Painter. The Painter was great (lots of flyfishing). Thanks for the recommendation of The River, I'll pick that up!I have read all of Peter Heller’s books. The River is my favorite.
I agree that The Dog Stars might be compared to The Road but you summed it up well, not quite as dark. I've read all of McCarthy's books except one (I don't remember the title), I had to quit halfway through, Jeez, it was disgustingly graphic.I just read "The Dog Stars" by Peter Heller. It's a post-apocalyptic type story that features fly fishing a lot. The guy writes a bit like Cormac McCarthy and the book was favorably compareded to " The Road" but I found it nowhere near as depressing. I recommend it.
"Devolution" by Max Brooks is also a pretty fun book. It's a bigfoot book by Mel Brooks' son, but it's not as hokey and stupid as everything else in that genre. And it's set in Western WA
I try and read that along with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn every couple years.I downloaded a classic and read it while in Alaska: The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. I probably read this book while in junior high school, 60 or so years ago.
Next on my list - The Adventure os Huckleberry Finn.I try and read that along with The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn every couple years.
Just finished "The Dog Stars". I see that Im not the only one who liked it. It's not "The Road" (thank God), but I see the similarities. I was given two more books by Heller and will start on them shortly.I just read "The Dog Stars" by Peter Heller. It's a post-apocalyptic type story that features fly fishing a lot.

The Painter was very good, I thought.Just finished "The Dog Stars". I see that Im not the only one who liked it. It's not "The Road" (thank God), but I see the similarities. I was given two more books by Heller and will start on them shortly.
The River must be the other book, it too is very well written.Just finished "The Dog Stars". I see that Im not the only one who liked it. It's not "The Road" (thank God), but I see the similarities. I was given two more books by Heller and will start on them shortly.
