As I sit here on my porch sippin my mint julip i scan across the fields at the mexicans pickin cotton I remember with fondness the good old days and traditions of the beloved South. The breeze blowin through the Stars and bars I remember the cotillion about to commence this weekend by the statute of Greatgrandfather down at the couthouse green. My what must he felt during the war of northern Aggression.Dan W. wrote:
This is an interesting book about what the South is like today. A well-written account on how some traditions still survive in the Deep South, and the writer is himself a former Pulitzer Prize winner so you know he can write.
Of course, you may have already read this book. If not you should.

A great achievement, wish I would have taken more interest in languages when I was younger, German would have been a good one to know, considering my hobbies these days.Marcus Wendel wrote:Xanthro,
I try to read books in English to improve my grasp of the language and also I try to read books in the original language if possible, these days I rarely read any books in Swedish.
I plan to refresh my German and Spanish from school so I can read books in those languages too, I can mange shorter texts in German but a book would take me ages to read and there are so many books on WW2 that exist only in German.

I can read German and Koine, but it takes forever. I finish a German book about once a year, it's so slow that it's hard to keep the information in sequence. Koine is usually letters and very short texts so that's a bit easier.Marcus Wendel wrote:Xanthro,
