PatH - I enjoyed Thurber very much - will never forget 'The Figgerin' of Aunt Wilma' - lots of others too. When my son was stage-struck during his university days he played in one of Thurber's sketches - of course I thought he was the next Olivier

Did you know that Mary Shelley wrote an apocalyptic novel about the end of humanity? I didn't until recently. I've got it now, but haven't read it yet.

Animals Without Backbones

Buchsbaum, on VillA

This picture-filled book was kicking around my house when I was growing up. I still have it. The taxonomy is out of date now, but the protographs are still good.

C'mon PatH, dig a little. Not that many characters adressed "reader"

Gumtree · « **Reply #1312 on:** May 29, 2009, 11:04:59 PM »

Reader, I married him.

Jane Eyre said it - she was referring to Mr. Rochester at the end of the novel Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte.

I love it - it goes on - Reader, I married him. A quiet wedding we had: he and I, the parson and clerk were alone present.

PatH · « **Reply #1315 on:** May 30, 2009, 12:15:52 AM »

I recently watched the 1935 movie of "She". It's pretty corny, but has some merit too. The beautiful eternal temptress She is played by Helen Gahagan Douglas, who later turned to politics and served two terms in Congress as Representative for the State of California before being defeated by Richard Nixon in a bid for the Senate.

Frybabe · « **Reply #1316 on:** May 30, 2009, 12:23:22 AM »

I read the book, She, when I was a teenager. Unfortunately, it is not one of Dad's books that I still have. Don't know what ever happened happened to it. It is one worth reading again along with his King Solomon's Mines.

PatH · « **Reply #1317 on:** May 30, 2009, 12:38:42 AM »

I read them as a teenager too, and mean to reread them some day.

Here is another of Dad's books I read as a teenager. It deserves another read, too. I still have the book.
