Just last week I talked to a lady last week who has a relative who regularly talks to Rick Bragg's aunt (or some such relation). <br /><br />Anyway, I thought I'd link up my review here Amy @ Hope Is the Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07949836482747469686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-84565924211226009772009-10-02T23:50:03.070-04:002009-10-02T23:50:03.070-04:00Bermudaonion- That would be wonderful to hear him ...Bermudaonion- That would be wonderful to hear him speak.

According to what Bermudaonion said, he probably would have done a great job narrating his own words.<br /><br />Bookfool- My copy came from the same place. Library discard sale.

Sometimes there is a sensibility that I don't get. But I have always loved this book title and think of it often. Sometimes I even yearn to use it in social situations but then realize folks would probably look at me like I was a little touched. I guess I should pick it up one of these days.Thomas Hogglestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14284352537015457974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-2677627949894170712009-10-02T06:46:24.337-04:002009-10-02T06:46:24.337-04:00I just finished The Glass Castle, which sounds lik...I just finished The Glass Castle, which sounds like it has a similar plot line. It is hard to read about kids growing up in such a life. It just breaks your heart. I find it amazing and awe-inspiring that kids can rise to the challenge and make something of themselves despite the odds. <br /><br />I'm also reminded of a chapter in Outliers that talks about the culture of the South, and Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4014696560401110515.post-32464992263025626592009-10-01T23:48:51.040-04:002009-10-01T23:48:51.040-04:00I found a nice used copy of this one in my library...I found a nice used copy of this one in my library sale, last year.

I actually got to hear the author speak when we lived in Alabama and he was very entertaining.bermudaonionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10726401178972099557noreply@blogger.com
