The Long-Legged House

Another book report, bought a couple of years ago after getting a clue to do so from Gun and Garden magazine. The book seemed dull at first, but on a recent review, revealed a rich expression of the author'a love for rural Kentucky.
The Long-Legged House was written by Wendell Berry, and published by Shoemaker & Hoard in 1965.
This is a collection of essays with having diverse scope. For this reason, finite description would be tedious. Mr. Berry was, is, a man deeply in tune with his own relationshipa to the earth, Christian fundamentals and man's care for each other.
The discussions written ring true and parallel to the positions of today's progressives and Sierra Club. They, the essays are logical and thoughtful, though in my opinion unrealistic.
I write because this is a book worth reading, Berry writes in a manner that pulls the reader onto a seat upon a rock on the banks of the river, any river.
