Peter Matthiessen

Heard on Writer's Almanac that today is Peter Matthiessen's birthday. He's a wonderful writer. There isn't an allmusic/allmovie/imdb for books, I don't think, but there is wikipedia. Everything I've read I've enjoyed, although looking at the list, I need to read more. Anyway, these are all great:

• At Play in the Fields of the Lord (1965) {missionaries in the amazon}
• Killing Mister Watson (1990) {trilogy about life in the everglades}
  
• Lost Man's River (1997)
• Bone by Bone (1999)

• Sal Si Puedes: Cesar Chavez and the New American Revolution (1969)
• The Tree Where Man Was Born (1972) {travel through africa}
  
• The Snow Leopard (1978) {travel through the himalaya}
  
• In the Spirit of Crazy Horse (1983)
  
• Indian Country (1984)
