That photo reminded me of Naked Came the Manatee. Too bad that one's not available in e-format.
I second the Swamplandia mention, and I'd add Zora Neale Hurston's Their Eyes Were Watching God and Hemingway's To Have and Have Not to the list.
I enjoyed The Yearling way back when. Cross Creek, not so much - to me it came off as too condescending to the 'natives,' like Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings felt she was doing the people of Cross Creek a favor by living with them for a year. Heresy, I know, but . . .
