The Little Man's Big Friend Governor James E. Folsom in Alabama Politics 1946-1958.

It's a snoozer, but every Governor since has run basically the same campaign, and has not been able to do as much with the office.

I have like 19273763535 books on my nightstand to finish, but I can't seem to find the motivation to do so.

I finally put the Story of Britain to rest, and I'm thinking about a couple of books to read next. Maybe the The Presidential Difference (I think thats what it is called). But I'm a little tired of histories and facts. I'm kind of getting back in the mood for a novel.

"Party Out of Bounds" - Roger Lyle Brown

Story of the late-70's early 80's Athens music scene. Pretty interesting read that just makes me want to go back to college.

I just started it yesterday and am only about 6 chapters in, but so far so good. I'm a fan of his work and enjoyed the Border Trilogy a lot. The writing style is similar to those books and the locations, etc. are similar also.

It's pretty brutal so far. There have been numerous killings, bludgeonings, scalpings, etc. and I've barely scratched the surface.

If you're a fan of his work, I'd expect you'd like this one also. I don't know if I'd recommend it as an introduction to his work, but it's probably as good a place to start as any.

Wow, just checked it out on Amazon and immediately put a hold on it at my library.
