Pretty much any decent book on the history of West Virginia or Appalachia. Think Night Comes to The Cumberlands, or They'll Cut Off Your Project, not Hillbilly Elegy (to be fair, I have only heard that Hillbilly Elegy comes off as a caricature of the region). Have fun fren t. WVfag

Lets get this sorted once and for all

Hi /lit/, how would I start a bookclub at my school? I want people to have a chance and space to read, as well as nurture that willingness to wind down in a good book. How do I start one, run one, and keep it running when I'm long gone?

That sucks. there have been times in my life where I've spent a longer time away from books than a year, only to come back to them with a newfound curiosity and passion for them. these days i only read what appeals to me and sparks my curiosity.
