I just finished the best book. It is The Prince of Frogtown by Rick Bragg. I highly recommend this especially for any who may have spent time in or have family in Alabama. This would be a fantastic beach read. Let me know what you think.

Perhaps you need to put this in the Summer 2008 reading thread. Ummm, my family is from Alabama and I am scared to read this. 
Did you know there really is a Slick Lizard, AL?

I just picked it up this weekend at Sundog. Is it as good as 'All Over but the Shoutin'

I think so. The main difference to me is that in Shoutin he is dealing with his childhood in a humorous way; Frogtown, he is recounting his father's life and his life with his father. To me the main attraction is that Bragg is very, very funny in that low key Southern way. By the way he is now doing his writing at Tuscaloosa. I treasure people and things that make me laugh. Enjoy the book.
