There's this book I've been eyeing since last fall. Everytime I read a little bit of it, it makes me tear up...in the best of ways. The book is My South and it's been culled together from a Turner South special in which people discuss what makes the South *their* South.

A beautiful piece of writing from one of the beautifulest Southerners I know.

Your icon says it all really. Your South is your home and sounds like a wonderful place. Of course, if I ever make it to the US for my 'as many states in three weeks as possible' trip, Tennessee is definately on the list anyway...
