0:00.0	Welcome to From the Front Porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South. If you want one thing too much, it's likely to be a disappointment. The healthy way is to learn to like the everyday things, like soft beds and buttermilk and feisty gentleman.
0:36.0	Larry McMurtry, Lonesome Dove.
0:40.0	I'm Annie Jones, owner of the Book Shelf, an independent bookstore in beautiful downtown

0:47.7	And this week, I'm recapping the books I read in October.
