“My roommate is a 240-pound homicidal hermit. For dinner he’s fixing me a dead fox he scraped off the highway near Ponchatoula, and after that we’re taking a leaky tin boat out on a windy lake to spy on some semi-retarded fishermen. Don’t you wish you were here?”

Alexander Blevens Hey Friends,
I started a new Goodreads Book List called "Books Set in Biloxi." The Biloxi area is so unique, with rich cultural and geographic history, that many authors (including me) have chosen it as a setting. Please visit this list and add your favorite Biloxi titles, fiction and non-fiction.
