   But that was precisely the reason Ron Canady, an English teacher at Winter Haven High School and an adjunct professor at Polk Community College, chose to read "The Anatomy of Lynching: The Killing of Claude Neal" by James R. McGovern.
   ...
   This took place in about 1934," said Canady, 55.
   
   But he said the book was "rather tedious."
   
   "It's not a detective story, it's a pretty serious academic study."
   
   ...
   Canady is reading "Sunset Limited" by James Lee Burke.
   ...
   He is a recovering alcoholic who finds himself drawn into struggles trying to solve various types of mysteries that usually involve gangsters from New Orleans, and outside influences trying to rape the land, so to speak," Canady said, adding that the Robicheaux books have a lot of local color . . . "Filled with shrimp eatin' on the bayou."
   
   Other books in the 12-book series are "Purple Cane Road" and "The Neon Rain."
