Rereading "When Elephants Weep" ~ if you are at all interested in anthropomorphism you will like (no...love) this book.
Always seem to be leafing through my two favorites.....Will Shake's best of
Mostly Julius Caesar and right now I'm fascinated with A Midsummer's Night Dream.
And the other biggie I keep going back to....E.A. Poe - Hall of the House of Usher.....read it a zillion times but I love the blackness and "bareness" of his writing.
Keep meaning to get through History of the World (started the 800 plus page mammoth about ohhhh a year ago and am still trying to finish the damn thing!).
Favorites that I would recommend to anyone.....
Anne McCaffrey (sp??) Dragonriders of Pern books...anyone of them...all of them
And a book entitled "The Forgotten Beasts of Eld"...don't remember the author at this moment. Good, though!
Oh...and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" a MUST read. In MHO!
