The Land of Little Rain by Mary Austin
3.0

Another book I had to read for my English class; this one is by far the most boring yet, albeit more interesting than a previous assigned one, The Maltese Falcon. The Land of Little Rain is Mary Austin's personal collection of narratives about the Californian desert and the multitude of lives surrounding it. Each chapter in the book is dedicated to different unique things that could be found or discovered in the desert. The narratives are all right, but I did not quite enjoy it, and to be honest, I sometimes did not understand half of what Austin was trying to say in her eloquently descriptive chapters. Books about deserts have never really interested me anyways.
