Hometown Humor, U.S.A.: Over 300 Jokes and Stories… von Loyal Jones

I thought a friend sent me this book--but I don't see it listed on their reading lists, so now I am not so sure. There were stories and jokes that made me smile. Only a few made me laugh out loud. I plan to share the book with my mom.

Appalachian Values von Loyal Jones

A brief look at Appalachia from one of its own; characterization of what is, with a bit of just-so backstory on 'why.' In these essays there is breadth in subject, but rarely strong depth. As an introduction to Appalachia and the values of its people, this book does well. For those familiar with the mountain perspective, looking to learn more deeply, it's lacking. A (strongly subjective) hit against this book is the lack of discussion on Appalachian peoples' music and folk traditions.

Great photography that captures Appalachian people throughout.… (mehr)
