I know, I know, swimming season in the Midwest is at an end, but if you read the book I am recommending, you can once more experience the swim season, even though vicariously, as the author narrates her swimming journal. Akiko Busch is the author of Nine Rivers to Cross, and she does indeed talk you through each one. Two are actually in MO, and the last one is a favorite destination for float-trippers. She observes life and nature while she swims, or reminisces on her swim, and you can almost feel the water currents rippling through her passages. It is a serene book, one to pass the time with deep blue thoughts while we wait for winter to freeze our own water passages. Enjoy the plunge!
