give it a try. I remember "God's Little Acre." Now I have a
reverse question that somebody asked yesterday. Since I never
read "Tobacco Road," is it worth reading if I've already read
GLA?
*********** It's tricky trying to figure out what to read and
what to skip, isn't it? Ain't enough time to read everything
that looks interesting. I wish I could recover the time I
spent recently reading Graham Greene's ORIENT EXPRESS.
I haven't read GOD'S LITTLE ACRE, but I've got a gut-level
feeling that many of Caldwell's backwoods books are similar
in theme. If you absolutely hunger for more of the same, go
for it. Otherwise, the bottom line I'm pushing is: Read
SANCTUARY. Skip TOBACCO ROAD.
