That's awesome.  Just finished that one yesterday. It's like other JG books. Just different stories.

Nope, I don't have a problem with non-Caucasians.  Plus the book is a bit too Southern redneck for me.

I haven't read it but it's gotten a lot of buzz.  Applachia boy who made it big writes with perspective from both sides of good fortune.  Or something like that.  I tend to shy away from books that become "popular" for the most part because I generally think most people are morons but I am curious about this one.  A muddie stamp of approval would go a long way.

I think the conservatives really like it, so that is strike 1.  Doug's wife, whom I've never met, liked it, and she married Doug, which begs the question, is she sane?  If she's visually impaired and relies on braille, then I might entertain her analysis of Hillbilly Elegy, and her fondness of an invisible or blurred Doug.  That might be strike 2, but I am going to give it a gander.

Not that any of you are interested but I've been working on a book for the last few years.  I am not an author/writer, and never will be.  My goal is to leave the tales and interpretations for my son and any grandkids that may appear.  Plus I've found that attempting to define/explain yourself, your life, etc. is very much boosted by struggling to put it in written word.

The working title is "Meet Me at the Grove", with everything from chapters on informative youth in VA mountains, to VT's positive influence, to skepticism, to hunting and fishing, to my late father, to religion and politics, to sagas of old-timers sprinkling baby powder on a young girl's cucci and licking it off all before my teenage eyes, etc.  There may be reasons that I am screwed up, likely there are many explanations.

If my membership to life does not expire, I'll finish it.

I've met @Dougfish 's wife and she is wonderful.  She let's him fish, drink beer and spend time with the likes of all of us here.
