Bell Mountain questions (picture as attention grabber)

I’ve been to almost mountain top in the state except Bell Mountain. I already know that my car can’t handle the drive up and down. I’ve heard tell about a hike up to the top. What’s it like? How long? Is there a place to park at the bottom?

I’ll let y’all argue whether WV is part of the South or not, but regardless, I highly recommend this book

Teacher on summer break and I’m reading all the comics/graphic novels/manga I can!

I’ve read so many good comics this summer! Some highlights: Parasyte, Batman: Dark Patterns, Vision, and TMNT Vol. 1!!

Books #150-190 in June! A breakdown in the body!

I’m a teacher on summer break. I read a lot! I have an almost unlimited supply of comics and I am constantly listening to audiobooks while doing other things. So I knocked out 40 books this month! Some thoughts:

Comics: The big thing is here comics, graphic novels, and manga. I have a friend who has a near limitless supply of comics. He loans them to me. Therefore, I read a lot of his suggestions (Stormwatch, Parasyte, DMZ, Echo, Spectators, Altamont, Can’t Get No). However, after going to a comics shop, I got the itch to read a bunch of comics that I WANTED to read. I read through several of the “Absolute” DC comics (Batman Vol. 2, Superman, Wonderwoman), some recent highly praised Batman comics, Redcoat, TMNT, some Tynion stuff, some Ram V stuff.

r/bookclub: I’ve found a lot of joy in r/bookclub. They put me onto a lot of books I would’ve never read. For this month I read The Bright Sword, The City of Brass, Little Fires Everywhere, A Drop of Corruption, and the Great Believers.

Bucket List Books: Since it’s summer break, I’m finally getting to some books that have been on my shelf for a long time: Lonesome Dove (read mostly in paperback and switched to audiobook on a road trip), Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn (I’m a Georgia history teacher and this an essential Atlanta history book), and a Confederacy of Dunces (been wanting to read this for years!).

Out of all of these, my favorites for the month were The Bright Sword, The Knives, Lonesome Dove, A Drop of Corruption, Where Peachtree Meets Sweet Auburn, and A Confederacy of Dunces!

I’m FINALLY reading A Confederacy of Dunces and loving it.

I’m a huge fan of southern lit. A Confederacy of Dunces has been on my bucket list for years (decades?). I’ve been reading it for the past several hours and am around the halfway mark.

It’s hilarious. It’s also sad that the don’t have any more literature from O’Toole
