Name that book!
I am a correspondent from the field this week. We flew out of Hartford and into Huntsville, Alabama. Since then we have traveled South to Birmingham, down to Montgomery, across to Selma and then West on to Jackson Mississippi, and still further West to Vicksburg Ms, into Louisiana, where we turned north and have traveled in to Arkansas. I am writing this from Pine Bluff, AR. As we’ve traveled this tour of the South, I’ve thought of some of the great books I’ve read that take place here. I can see Scout on these red dirt roads. John Singer in a boarding house. I’ve seen Eudora Welty’s house in Jackson, MS, where she wrote her Pulitzer Prize wining novel. Also the house in Montgomery, AL where F. Scott Fitzgerald wrote his famous tale of cover up, love and insanity staring Rosemary, Nicole and Dick. I’ve bought water at the Winn Dixie, but thankfully no dog followed me home. Books are everywhere! Can you identify these books? They’re all @ your library! |
