I've previously read Guterson's Snow Falling on Cedars, and decided that 
this novel required reading. For all the Twilight saga fans out there, you'll recognize the are in which this novel takes place. It most of Olympic National Park and frequently mentions Forks, Washington and the Hoh Indian Reservation. The two main characters in this novel form a friendship and explain their theories on life as they hike the surrounding mountain range. Hiking and camping is their outlet through which they cope with the outside world and come to grips with the separate lives they lead.
