Don't Sit Under the Grits Tree with Anyone Else But Me Reviews
-
This collection has not aged well in the 40+ years since it was written. The humorous and/or poignant moments are few and far between, and the last chapter and a half praising Herschel Walker went over like a lead balloon.

Lewis is a Georgia born columnist, writer, and humorist. He writes with classic Southern whit and charm. Sit back with your glass of iced tea, relax, and enjoy reading this book.

Not one of his best, but I still love Lewis's humor and love reading his take on the South, yankees, and football, lol.

As I go thru my Lew Grizzard collection, I do enjoy the references getting a bit more "modern" -- this is more or less 1979-1982. I did enjoy this book a bit more than the earlier ones because, even though it is still roughly a collection of his columns in a thematic format, there are some experiments with long form. While college football might not be that interesting to me, I think he does great storytelling when talking about UGA and other Southern football teams. As usual, his societal views on women, relationships, and the like are ... old-fashioned. But there are still many laugh-out-loud moments in this collection. So if you like storytelling on topics from this era from a Southern-bred man's perspective, you'll enjoy this one.
