Last October, Portland Magazine had a feature on the "20 Greatest Oregon Books Ever" as compiled by Brian Doyle. I'm interested in whether anyone has read them, what they thought about them (a couple have already been discussed on the Oregon Authors thread), and whether there is agreement about their inclusion on a list of Best Ever Oregon books.
As to other books about Oregon that SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED on a list of Best Ever Oregon books, I am going to start a separate thread.
Here is the list:
1. Sometimes a Great Notion by Ken Kesey
2. The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin
3. Winter Count by Barry Lopez
4. The River Why by David Duncan
5. Wildmen, Wobblies & Whistle Punks: Stewart Holbrook’s Lowbrow Northwest by Stewart Hall Holbrook
6. The Country Boy by Homer Davenport
7. Ricochet River by Robin Cody
8. Stepping Westward: The Long Search for Home in the Pacific Northwest by Sallie Tisdale
9. Hole in the Sky by William Kittredge
10. True Believer by Virginia Euwer Wolff
11. The Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest by Alvin M. Josephy
12. The Journals of Lewis and Clark by Meriwether Lewis
13. Oregon Geographic Names by Lewis A. McArthur
14. Ramona the Pest by Beverly Cleary
15. Fire at Eden’s Gate: Tom McCall & the Oregon Story by Brent Walth
16. The Jump-Off Creek by Molly Gloss
17. Every War Has Two Losers by William Stafford
18. Nehalem Tillamook Tales
19. To Build a Ship by Don Berry
20. In Search of Ancient Oregon: A Geological and Natural History by Ellen Morris Bishop
Sorry -- I can't get all the touchstones to load.
