FW: [Santiagobis] Books to read

[Donald Schell]

Dear friends,
This is Kathy Gower's note to Santiagobis offering a list of books that, as
she describes it, are not of the 'boots and socks' variety, that is these
books don't focus on how to, but share the experience of pilgrimage and help
us recall what we're setting out to do or have done in walking this Way.  I
like Kathy's list a lot.  And yes, Maria and my book is on it, which was an
added incentive to re-posting it here.
love, donald
