One of the best books I have ever read. Can't really tell you why except that when I closed the book, I missed the character of Jayber Crow. Not the author, the actual character. He's a small town barber from back in the day when the barbershop meant something to the vibrancy and story of a community. For those that have read the book, the last couple sentences alone make you wish there were 200 more pages.

A very under-appreciated novel by an author we all should be paying more attention too.
