If you are looking to help the recovery efforts from Hurricane Helene, this suggestion comes from author Wiley Cash. He posts,
"Thank you so much to the Cape Fear Literacy Council for letting me piggyback on Adult Story Hour here in Wilmington NC to raise money for Asheville flood relief. This will be a live in-person event in Wilmington that will have virtual access via my Facebook and Instagram pages (cont?)

lynneamch (cont.) If you join us virtually, I ask that you consider donating to BeLoved Asheville, a very active relief organization. For the event, I'll be reading brief excerpts from Thomas Wolfe's LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL, which is set in Asheville, and talking about what the novel and the city have meant to me as a writer and citizen. Please join us in-person or virtually and help if you can, and please share this invitation with friends." From Wiley Cash 5d

Thomas Wolfe Memorial, downtown Asheville. See the soft blue porch ceiling? It‘s a southern tradition. #fallbreak

Scochrane26 I toured that house on one of my trips to Asheville. 2y
britt_brooke @Scochrane26 This was on our last day and we didn‘t have time to go inside, but loved agreeing the facade. It‘s so pretty sitting there among modern buildings. 2y
Leftcoastzen Go back sometime, the little tour is great! 2y

I was drawn to Thomas Wolfe while researching things to do in Asheville, North Carolina a few years ago, and I learned learned through the website https://romanticasheville.com that Wolfe is an Asheville native. I absolutely love Asheville, so my interest was piqued with this knowledge.

See https://abookandadog.com for my full review.

Nebklvr Love his atmospheric writing and great characters 2y
Leftcoastzen I visited his boyhood home in Asheville! Recommend! 2y

Prompt: Houses

Frank Loyd Wright's home Falling Waters is what came to mind when I thought of houses. Look Homeward Angel was the book because I live in Asheville where Thomas Wolfe grew up and houses brings to mind home. Though they are not one and the same.

Happy Birthday Thomas Wolfe , the last time I read my old mass market of "You Can't Go Home Again "it fell apart as I read it , I was in the south , so I visited his childhood home in Asheville,NC . It was worthwhile.

Look at this #bookhaul! I've been fighting off a cold all week and work has been bleh, so I rewarded myself with a trip to the thrift store today to check out the book selection. All of these books for $3.50! The paperbacks are only 10 cents each at this thrift shop.

emilyhaldi Love all the vintage covers! 7y
Kimberlone @emilyhaldi yes, me too! The covers are always so great. Vintage paperbacks always suck me in. Especially if they're only 10¢ a piece! 7y

For my first post on here, I'd like to review a book that has left a mark on me: Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe (1929).

Much in the vein of Dandelion Wine by Bradbury and Winesburg, Ohio by Sherwood Anderson, Look Homeward, Angel is a Whitman-esque roman a clef that carries a vast and powerful heart at it's core. With eloquent prose and a passionate outlook on life, Wolfe succeeds in baring his very self to the reader. 9/10 stars.

You know you're a book nerd when you've spent three days planning what book/s to take on your vacation. Criteria: must be "paper pages" as my young son says, must be long enough to last two weeks and must be properly engaging (but not totally absorbing.) What's your favorite vacation book?

I read it as a teenager and Eugene was my soulmate, alienated and out of place.

I decided to finally just read this book instead of perpetually saving it for some special, undefined time.

Look Homeward, Angel | Thomas Wolfe

Who is going to see "Genius" when it comes out in theatres? I've always enjoyed Wolfe's writing, and seeing the dramatized back story of his editing process will give the story even more meaning. I've always wondered how many volumes Wolfe's stories would have been without the massive edits.
