Another way to say "thanks"
Permalink Closed

It occurred to me that many of the faculty who are sticking their necks way out have written books.  A good way to thank these people is to buy some of their books.  I just purchased Noel Polk's Outside the Southern Myth.  Some of you could suggest others.  Heck, a person could get really radical and READ the books!  It may be a small thing, but it seemed like something concrete that could be done, especially by those of us off campus.

There are still Noel Polk "world-class foot" t-shirts available. I'm sure he'd love to see himself quoted on your chest, not just in scholarly journals. Contact mwilsonk@netdoor.com

If you haven't read Dark Journey, read it.  Excellent book.
