I finished Runes of the North by Sigurd F. Olson and I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this book to my classmates. I actually enjoyed most of the book aside from times when it got on the boring side. I would say that it isn’t really a great fit if you don’t like the outdoors much. If you are interested in outdoors or in Native American history I would give it a try. One other thing to note about this book is that it is made up of short stories and not just one giant plot, this can be nice if one story isn’t interesting since you can simply skip some pages and keep reading without getting lost in the main plot like most other books I have read. After reading this book I wanted to find something with the same basic layout (smaller stories in one book). I asked a friend who recommended a book: Exploits and Adventures of Brigadier Gerard. I am a little over halfway through this book and it is about a man named Etienne Gerard who serves in the French Army. It has some humor worked into it but I would caution other readers that it was written in the late 1800s through the early 1900s so it can have a different writing style than most books today.
