I haven't posted here in forever and there's no point in trying to catch up, so this is what I'm reading now.
- Hog Meat and Hoecake: Food Supply in the Old South by Sam Bowers Hilliard. You wouldn't read this for the prose, but the substance is interesting.
- Ralph the Heir, my 27th novel by Anthony Trollope.
- Lanterns on the Levee, by William Alexander Percy, uncle of the great Walker. A wonderful memoir of a life in Mississippi at the turn of the century and later.
- Why Homer Matters by Adam Nicolson. Interesting insights. I'm not quite swept away, but it's enhancing my appreciation.
