The Lords of Folly

Description:

Just about the funniest book I've ever read! I have a physical copy that will have to be pried from my cold dead hands! If you're a Catholic it's a bit bittersweet, but still very, very funny. Don't get me wrong. This book rings true of the times around Vatican II. Plus it's about some pretty innocent young priests and farming skullduggery that will have you laughing and shaking your head and it certainly reminds me of the many farmers I've known in my 71 years. Having visited the upper Midwest on and off over many years, I've also seen the changes to the land. Gene Logsdon is a very good writer on whatever subject he undertakes, and I've read all of his work. This one is still one of my all time favorite books.
