ragbag:

thanks to my internet chums notentirely, 52books, & kingmedicine for their thoughtful recommendations of fine southwest pa literature. for the record: the trials and tribulations of lucas lessar and the mothman prophecies fit the bill precisely. also, if you get pink eye in the future and don’t want to use google OR your blog, librarything is a great resource for finding the right book.

additionally: ohmyword offered to throw a pair of panties at me.

and furthermore: ohmyword uses the phrase, “motorboat a dictionary.”

Thanks for sharing this. I grew up in rural Southwestern Pennsylvania and am excited to try Lucas Lessar.  

If nonfiction also counts: Youghiogheny, by Tim Palmer, documents efforts to conserve the natural beauty of the region’s rivers and mountains amid a post-industrial economic crisis in the 1980s. Highly recommended. My mom kept the book on the shelf in my room, and it came came with me when I left home.
