Wanted to point you readers in the direction of my favorite author and American treasure, Pat Conroy. You may recognize him as author of the popular Beach Music, but I'd like to remind you of some other great titles like The Lords of Discipline, The Great Santini, The Water Is Wide, The Prince of Tides, and My Losing Season. His roots run deeply into the SC Low Country and the days of his young life at the Citadel in Charleston. Do you know him already? Care to discuss your favorite?

I've read all of his books. I read the Lords of Discipline when I was accepted at the citadel. My family is from Charleston and I know that The Lords of Discipline was a hot topic for a while when it first came out. My family has been in Charleston for over three hundred years, so some of my relatives fit into the stereotypical south of broad group. Most old families in Charleston weren't too happy with their portrayal in the book. All in all, Conroy is an amazing author, although I wouldn't be so sure about his roots running too deep in the low country, after all his father was a yankee.

I do love Pat Conroy! This is one of my favorite authors! Until now, I read "Beach Music", "South Charleston" and "The Prince of Tides" which is my favorite! I love the way he describes the southern states whose population has still some culture, a way of speaking, gastronomy to her own. His books are spellbinding. I really recommend it to anyone who loves to read because it is very well written. We cling to the character and even, we identify with them sometimes!
A must-read!

human beings admire me for maximum motives, a number of that are in accordance with danger. a individual could be in demand immediately and hated the following day. i will p.c. to stroll in a state of affection in direction of surely everyone in accordance with concept regardless in the event that they admire me or no longer. want is deceitful.

I read Beach Music and really enjoyed it. I haven't tried any of his other books.
