by Wallace Stegner

I first read this book in the Summer of 2000 -- it was recommended by the owner of the bookstore where I worked. I think I went back and re-read one more time but ever since, I've been afraid to re-read it... what happens if it doesn't live up to my memories how amazing it was??

by Ferrol Sams

Amazon says:
A boy's account of growing up through the rituals of life on an ancestral farm in middle Georgia between the big wars. It is a rueful, humorous story of the people in one rural county, but the telling cuts so deep it breaks through to the universal. Reminiscent of "To Kill a Mockingbird," "Tom Sawyer," and "The Catcher in the Rye," "Run With the Horsemen" is the powerfully moving and delightfully endearing story of Porter Osborne Jr.'s journey to adulthood.
