Hmm...
i was just wondering... what is your favorite book out of these top 3?
My favorite book of all time is Pirate looks at 50! it beats out any other book i have ever read!
For some reason Joe Merchant didn't show up. You can just write that you like that book best if you do for the vote!
How beautiful it is to do nothing, then rest afterwards!
I liked all three books, but Tales was probably my most favoritest (for Auntie ).
Pirate was a nice story about escaping the real world, but Tully Mars did it a more realistic way for me. I had trouble keeping up with Frank Bama and his adventures, but it was still a good book.

L&L may have forgotten to hit the add button one more time.
I could see that mistake being made. You have to be careful when creating polls as you can't go back in and change them yourself. However, there are certain people who can fix it.
I have to got with Tales - it's one of the only books I read more than once.
The first time was when I bought it for my bro (jkotum) for x-mas when it first came out. I read it before giving it to him!
I finally bought it for myself online - had to have it in hardcover - then read it again.
Great book!
If you ever wonder, why you ride the carousel, you do it for the stories you could tell.

You mean Trouble Dolls?
I bought Jolly Mon when my daughter was 1. I taped a picture of her inside the cover and mailed it off to Margaritaville in KW for an autograph. Included a self addressed stamped folder. Several weeks later the book came back with JB's signarture and an added bonus, Savannah Jane's too! Still have the book and my daughter just truned 14...time is moving way too fast! I still like Tales!!!!
"I'm back to living Floridays,
Blue skies and ultraviolet rays,
Looking for better days"
That book (A Pirate looks at 50) is the only thing that Jimmy has ever done that bored me to tears. I read about 100 pages of it when it first came out..put it down and have never picked it up again.

ALthough I truly enjoyed all 3... Joe Merchant is my favorite, but then I'm really into mystery & intrigue! Consider mine a write in vote.
Looking forward to A Salty Piece Of Land.
in my contract there's this clause that says "it's my job"
This post made me think about Boomerang Love and the hurricane story in Tales from Marg. That book has so many fine tales. (Hey, Angel Beach...where ya been?)
My other favorite tale always reminds me of Jerry Jeff Walker...it is called Are You Ready for Freddy.
Hmm...
