January 2008 Book of the Month

Two reviews appeared for Barry Hannah's Ray the November 2007 Book of the Month.

jhhowell contributed the superior review and has the privilege of recommending a book for January 2008:

Me again? I'll do it, even though I feel like it will be only me who reads it. I feel like the only nerd in the classroom that has turned in the homework.

I am a little nervous to pick this -- please bear in mind I have never read it myself, so forgive me in advance --- Tobacco Road by Erskine Caldwell

Thanks, jhowell. I'll invite everyone who has it in their library to join the discussion.
