Reader from Texas

I stumbled onto this book when I was about 12 years old and it stayed in my head. Many years later I ran across it again, re-read it, and loved it just as much. Great yarn that weaves its way through many years, many locales, and various levels of society. Apparently, Frank Yerby churned out quite a few books, and I'm just now discovering the others. So far, this is my favorite.

Possibly Yerby's best. Hard to put down. Great story.

Great fictional history lesson. Main Charactor is taken from childhood to old man in the setting of southern plantations and slave trading. Although not as detailed as Michener, in this novel Yerby is at his best as a story teller.
