Stuart is a little old-fashioned, but he writes the way all the people I grew up around speak, so I'm looking forward to reading this one. <br /><br />I need challenges and commitments in my life to keep me more focused. And maybe I won't spend as much time on the internet! Books are a lot easier on the carpal tunnel than keyboards and the mouse!Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587634783902486718.post-84256981416767276262009-05-08T06:12:00.000-04:002009-05-08T06:12:00.000-04:00Ruthie, I picked them off my bookshelves!

I had been thinking about reading it again, so this will be a good time to do it. <br /><br />David collects Jesse Stuart books, well, I collect them for him. He was kind of revered in our English classrooms in school, because he only lived about 60 miles away from us. We read a lot of his short stories in junior high. Also, David's Grandpa liked to quote from one of his books.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201860227400017841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587634783902486718.post-49193360034879961052009-05-07T22:29:00.000-04:002009-05-07T22:29:00.000-04:00You might like another blog I follow called "Maggi...You might like another blog I follow called "Maggie Reads". I think she's on blogspot. Her mission statement is to get Mississippians to read.
