From the Backbooth at Chappy’s: Stories of the South: Football, Politics, Religion, and More

A gift for my husband. He absolutely loved it and is getting it signed. Plan on buying more for gifts.

Go ahead and grab a nice cup of coffee or a refreshing glass of sweet tea, then head on out to the front porch... or perhaps your nearest diner. Those are the perfect places to read a book like this, one that's very rich with everything that genuinely defines the South. Housel's insight and musings about sports, religion, politics and unique Southern characters are highly entertaining and thought-provoking. You'll not only find yourself absorbed in his straightforward writing style, but you'll also be captivated by everything that's discussed in the backbooth at Chappy's Deli in Auburn, Alabama. Highly recommended!

Mr. Housel is an excellent writer and his witty and thoughtful stories from the Backbooth are uplifting and thought provoking. You’ll keep wanting to turn the page to see what he has in store for you next!

Lots of entertaining Southern Football stories, but also lots of thought provoking stories.Some of the best stories are about growing up.... friends, family, relationships. Some of the stories are a little reminiscent of Ferrol Sams’ adventures in his trilogy.
