Excellent! I like hearing stories about the “underdog”. I’m egalitarian my nature, so reading about people who persevered despite the odds is wonderful.

Alll Aunt Hagar’s children is my favorite as well TJ. He’s actually one of my favorite writer’s of all time; simple but powerful prose. Unlike Toni who you sometimes have to put down and pick up again and even grab a dictionary…Edward makes you just smile with his common sense folksy way of putting words on paper.

The Known World is an awesome book! Aunt Hagar’s Children is pretty good too. Not as good as The Known World, but good. I remembered learning about Edward P. Jones and rushing out to get his book. It did not disappoint. All I could do was just sit there with my mouth open like, THIS man thought he could not make money as an author? Wow. I’d also like to echo Alicia’s kudos on your icon picks.
