Long-awaited ''Cyrus List'' of 15 Great Adair Books finally released Cyrus opens list to comments, debate Dear Readers The next time you're bored, zip over to town and buy a dozen ping pong balls, then try to juggle them, underwater.That's rather what it's been like trying to select a representative list of 12-15 "Adair County books of general interest, non-fiction." The awkward heading simply indicates this list is limited to books which focus specifically on Adair County and/or Adair Countians. There is another list. The list below represents my best effort. It is not the list; rather, it's an appetizer for the nearly endless buffet of Adair County books, articles, essays and the like. *Comments welcomed. And may the lively debate continue!
