   Book 17: Out on the Porch. I have a big porch Someone gave this to me. I thought "Oh neat, like my porch" but this is very specifically a book about SOUTHERN porches which means it has a certain vibe to it that is at once familiar (Faulkner, Lee, Wolfe, Morrison) but not what I was looking for. It's a nice commonplace book with lit excerpts about porches (Southern porches) alongside some nice photography of various kinds of porches. There's also an intro by Reynolds Price who I had not heard of.
