Moss, the book is called "A Land More Kind Than Home" and the author is Wiley Cash. Seek it out. It is a beautiful, painful story that will linger in your mind for a long while.

Faulkner can be such a struggle, but once you're inside the story, it's captivating and so rewarding. Let me know when you finish that...I have a great follow-up book for you! Not Faulkner, but Faulkneresque.

...I saw that SarahC posted a thread about the Autumn Defense's upcoming tour dates, but I wanted to send out a reminder for the fans in CA for this weekend's CA shows. It kills me that I have other commitments that will keep me home...if you go, please write up a bit of a review for those of us who have to live vicariously this time around. Both dates look amazing. Tomorrow night's show info: Friday, September 27 9:00 PM ~ Doors 8:00 PM All Ages $15.00 The Chapel 777 Valencia Street San Francisco, CA Here's a link. Looks like a terrific little venue! http://www.thechapelsf.com/ and the

That's chilling!

I'll have to read Colossus...I'm sure it's fascinating! I visited Hoover Dam two years ago & saw the memorials there to the workers killed during the building. Tragic stuff.

You should really get around to that.

I tried for 2.

As did I, just now! See you there. I also tried for 12/15 but after filling everything out, I got a page with a sold out message. So it may have just sold out. Try for the 18th, and good luck!

I need to re-read this. Haven't since High School & I don't remember much. That "Rant" book sounds really intriguing! I always get the best recommendations from this thread.

Hey Lotti, I saw an article the other day describing the fight between Swedish miners and reindeer herders over miners wanting to mine traditional reindeer-grazing lands. Of course I immediately thought of you! I hope this isn't impacting your livelihood. Welfare!

Very sad. So young!

My deepest sympathies to the whole Tweedy family.

Tracy, I know a son of yours had to have been a wonderful and compassionate man. The photo you've posted breaks my heart, to think of his children without him. I don't have the words to say how sorry I am, but you are in my thoughts and in my heart at this painful, tragic time. Much love to you.

Too many songs, concerts, friends, and memories to begin to thank you for, Jeff. Have a beautiful birthday!

I loved "Tenth of December". Except "Puppy".

Still, you have to admit it would be less problematic if he'd thought to have a spare key made.

Hi Derek! How goes it? Hi Robert! How's married life treating you? Hiya Drew! Hiya Scott! :wave

Alright, folks, let's step away from the post button unless it's to respond to the actual subject of this thread. The back-and-forth sniping is tiresome to our members...if you must continue, take it to pm's and keep it off the forums, please.

Give Back the Keys to my Heart?! Oh wow, wish I'd been there to hear that!

Nice to see you, awatt!

Diane, on your recommendation & that of PopTodd & Sir Stewart, I took Alissa (age 17) to see this today. She is irreparably scarred and damaged for life. No actually we both laughed hysterically all the way through. What a fitting end for the City of Angels! Poor James Franco. What a blast...we thank you!

What a buncha computer nerds! Thank you, sonny!

Conspiracy theorist, eh dagwave?
