I Love You, Miss Huddleston, and Other Inappropriate Longings... by Philip Gulley

Reading the stories, you can see glimpses of where he got some of the pieces for his Harmony novels and you'll feel like you're spending time with an old friend, enjoying some good memories. It's reminiscing about Gulley's childhood that serves as the focus for the latest series of essays in 'I Love You, Miss Huddleston.' From his crush on his sixth grade teacher to his first job as a newspaper boy and then working as a lawn care entrepreneur, Gully's reflections are full of humor, wit and the right amount of self-deprecation. On the other hand, his non fiction always feels like you're sitting down with an old friend to catch up a bit, reminisce about things and just enjoy a good conversation. The fiction is great because each trip to his fictional town of Harmony is a lot of fun and always good for a good natured laugh or two. Philip Gulley is a Quaker minister, writer, husband, and father. I have a few people this is getting recommended to almost immediately. With Gulleys sharp wit and keen observation, I Love You, Miss Huddleston captures these dramas and more, revisiting a childhood of unrelieved and happy chaos. Philip Gulley has written an incredibly entertaining small-town Midwest memoir - shades of Bill Bryson, Garrison Keillor and Jean Shepherd (A Christmas Story) all wrapped up together. It's hard to say if I prefer his fiction or his non-fiction more. I Love You, Miss Huddleston: And Other Inappropriate Longings of My Indiana Childhood. I chuckled my way all the way through I Love You, Miss Huddleston.

In the vein of Bill Bryson's The Life and Times of the Thunderbolt Kid, with a dash of some of the homegrown nostalgia of The Dangerous Book for Boys and A Prairie. Gully's work-both fiction and non-fiction-is some of the best on the market today and each new book is a treat.
