A colection of verse by Kipling 
I love Rudyard Kipling. My daughter's reading The Jungle book. I really like The Man who would be King. Is the title "A Collection of Verse" - or were you describing it? Pardon my ignorance.

Books of just about all kinds are cool. For happy memories with my son Shell Silvetstein book is fun. Maniplateing fabric is another I like. And of course my art books. All time favorite though is a dictionary. It is relaxing to learn the meaning of words.

I'm a huge fan of the DragonLance series, especially those books written by the orginal authors, Margaret Wies and Tracy Hickman. My absolute favorite is Soulforge. Thanx, this is Grandma's genre BIGTIME! Will pass these suggestions on, THANX! She has such a hard time finding anything she hasn't read. What she has read, she's read 7-10 times. AVID reader! |

Agreed, books are simply marvelous. BIG dictionary fan here, too. So odd, when you have one of those days when an oft' used word suddenly "seems" new, and you think, is it REALLY the way it is spelled and why? When I was little, I just loved to read it for hours! That, and a good day w/ the set of encyclopedias. Ah, good times.

Might be hard to find. It's an old book 1912, but I am sure there are other collections of his stuff out there. He is much much more then riki tiki tavi, gunga din and mowgli. |

Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand BIG TIME GOOD!
Have you read her earlier novel, "We the Living"? A lot of the "Atlas" seeds are presaged in that one. It's a great book on its own, too. |

Goodnight Moon Swoon, we even have the movie! It was one of my favorite books as a child, and it was also my daughter's favorite when she was a child. Read it to her every night at bedtime. I subsequently gave her my original hardcover copy. Music, have you seen the movie, narrated by Susan Sarandon? It is beautifully done, think you'd just love it! NEVER goes out of style. |

Yes, but who is there that can live up to their art, an enhanced and perfected pseudo-self? I believe it was Doysteyevsky that said it best: "I could ALWAYS live better in my art, than in my own life." Hard living up to the refined and polished image of one's self, kind of a house of cards set-up. |
