Hello Friends! It's another Top 10 video! This time with my favourite Modern Classics I have ever read! These are novels that are part of the culture, have achieved classic status, but have been published in the late 20th and early 21st Century. I hope you enjoy.
Quote from Hitting a Straight Lick With A Crooked Stick:
"“Spring time in Florida is not a matter of peeping violets or bursting buds merely. It is a riot of color, in nature—glistening green leaves, pink, blue, purple, yellow blossoms that fairly stagger the visitor from the north. The miles of hyacinths are like an undulating carpet on the surface of the river and divide reluctantly when the slow-moving alligators push their way log-like across. The nights are white nights as the moon shines with dazzling splendor, or in the absence of that goddess, the soft darkness creeps down laden with innumerable scents. The heavy fragrance of magnolias mingled with the delicate sweetness of jasmine and wild roses.”
