"The best things in life make you sweaty"
- Edgar Allen Poe
“We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us...”
― Henry David Thoreau
He did unabashedly drink absinthe with champagne.

I don't disagree "Absalom" is brilliant . Southern writers are my favorite. "To Kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee, then Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Fin", Edisto" by Powell.
I enjoy reading stuff about the Civil War during and after.
I recently re-read, a "Time to Kill" by Grisham.
My youngest is about to take AP Lit and the reading list is crazy.
Currently re-reading Walden by Thoreau (amongst endless medical literature). There is certainly some value is his perspective on minimalism/materialism and simplicity in nature.
