Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm

Don't remember the author but the title should bring back childhood memories to those of a certain age.

Under Capricorn

This was made into a film by Hitchcock - starred Michael Wilding, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph cotten et al - and was a box office failure.

Ransom

David Malouf

on Daisy MilleR

Another Aussie who is beginning to amass a creditable body of work. I'm reading this one right now. It plot deals with the Wrath of Achilles and Priam' s plan to recover his son, Hector's body from the Greeks but it's really about the bonds that exist between men - between fathers and sons, dear friends and bitter enemies

The blurb goes on: Malouf is one of our finest writers, a poet with an ear for language that transforms an interesting concept into a classic meditation on the roleof chance in each of our lives

Hey JudS: Watch out for the ticket to Oz coming your way through cyber space.

Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire

Edward Gibbon, on CopperfielD

When I married, Bob told me he figured that a man would spend a lot of time waiting for his woman, so he should have something to read, like Gibbon, while he waited. I promptly gave him a copy, but I didn't keep him waiting that much, and he never got very far in it. I still have it though, maybe sometime I'll get to it.
