I am all about books set in the south. If not this one, I’ll have to consider your other Edgerton recommendation.

I haven’t read this one, and it doesn’t sound as promising as the other Edgerton books I’ve read. I quite agree with Maggie that Rainey is his best. (It’s also the first place I ever saw anyone outside my Southern Virginia family refer to cooked greens as “salet,” so there’s authenticity for you.)

I swear I’m not going to join so many challenges next year, but then there’s the Southern Reading Challenge that I’ve never particpated in and it sounds like so much fun and I’ll probably have to join. This book sounded very promising. Sorry it didn’t hold up all the way through.

Dang Nancy! A whole quarter!!! Let me kick you!

Oh, I hate to hear that you did not like the book fully 3M. I haven’t read it yet, and have it on my southern list for next summer. I imagine it will be a quick read, so I’ll pair it w/ another quick read so I have a choice for my article.

Rainy, in my humble opinion, is Edgerton’s best book.

I’m still kicking myself for passing up a copy of Walking through Egypt that I found for a quarter, but I hadn’t heard a thing about it, and didn’t till two weeks after I looked at it and put it back. A quarter. Hmph.
