Anybody ever read any Silas House, Robert Morgan, or Toni O'Dell?

Sorry, never heard of them. What kind of stuff do they write? The only appalachian author that comes to my mind that I've read is Jess Carr.

Silas House has written three books, A Parchment of Leaves, The Coal Tattoo, and Clay's Quilt.  Best books I"ve ever read.

Robert Morgan wrote that book that was on Oprah's list, Gap Creek?  Another good one, but he's also written a plethora of other great stuff, This Rock, The Truest Pleasure.......

Tawni O'Dell (not Toni, woops) wrote Backroads, Sister Mine, and I can't remember the name of the other one, but it was good, too.  LOL

Me thinks you're a guy (its the beard - color me perceptive), and I don't know if guys would like these books, although they aren't romance novels.  A guy friend of mine read Gap Creek and really liked it.  In depth detail of life 120 years ago, killing hogs and mining coal and doing meth (that part was Clay's Quilt - modern day).  Laying out dead bodies in the living room and covering their faces with a cloth.  Stopping the clocks and going to tell the bees of the death so they wouldn't quit making honey.  Fascinating.

I'm going to have to check these out.  I've been looking for something new to read.  I read Twilight during Christmas,  didn't think I'd like it,  but it was pretty good. There was a few parts that was kinda out there,  but not bad.    I would read the rest  of the series if I could find them.

If you do get into Silas House, don't read them in the order they were written, read them in the order I have them in the other post.  Thats chronological.  I read them in the order they were written (out of chrono. order) and it screwed me up.  I found out how people died before they were born and crazy stuff like that.

I have them all Suzi, read them in 2-3 days each.  Borders have them.  I'm still want to start the Sookie Stackhouse books.
