5/30/2023 0 Comments Kingbird highway by kenn kaufman![]() ![]() So I initially hesitated when one of my contacts at Houghton Mifflin informed me that Kenn Kaufman's famous "coming of age" book, Kingbird Highway: The Biggest Year in the Life of an Extreme Birder (NYC: Houghton Mifflin, 1997), had recently been republished as a paperback, and would I like to review it? After reminding myself that I was probably the last person in North America who has not yet read this book, that the book was free to me and that, if I didn't like it, I could pretend it got lost in the mail, I agreed Okay, I'll read it.Ĭhoosing to read this book was a good decision, a truly fabulous decision, because I thoroughly enjoyed Kingbird Highway from the first sentence to the very last. The authors of those books always struck me as being pathetic self-involved crybabies with no purpose in life beyond whining about "being misunderstood" by the world because the people around them wisely refused to indulge their every desire - most of which were utterly ridiculous anyway. ![]() Did you read "coming of age" books when you were in high school? If so, what did you really think of them? Like most people, I read these books but I was unique among my peers because I never liked them, even when I was "coming of age". ![]()
