Stone Reader 1st. Half

I think its pretty crazy that Mark is having so much trouble finding let alone getting in contact with Dow Mossman, the writer of The Stones Of Summer. Mark glorifies this book like no other, and its hard to believe that he can barely even find people who have heard of it let alone read it. But these things happen, there is a ridiculous amount of music that people have never heard of that are the best songs. I first wondered if the writer was possibly dead, but I think if he had died it would be a lot easier to find where he is through things such as obituaries and reports. It is really neat that someone can get into reading as much as Mark does, but i know that i could never get that much into it. It must be a good story because whoever actually does read it seems to sort of obsess with it. In the documentary they talk of a lady on an airplane who carries it around with her wherever she goes just so in case that she meets someone whose has read. It only being almost fourty years old, its hard to believe that it is barely known at all, but im sure that this documentary will advertise it a lot and get it out to the public more.

Maybe it is just one of those books that doesn't really get much attention until very long after it is written. I do recognize the book Catch 22, i never read it but i remember one of my sisters having to read for school. When he began talking about this in the documentary i kind of got lost in why he was talking about it. I think this was when it was showing the footage of the fair, maybe i just got caught up in looking at the rides and lost attention to what exactly he was talking about.
