15 Books In Fifteen Minutes!

This is a fun one that I just got tagged to do on Facebook, so, I thought it would make a great quick post (and no, don't have internet powers yet, darn it!)  Anyways, here how ya do it:  Don't take too long to think about it: fifteen books you've read that will always stick with you. Make sure it's the first fifteen you can recall in no more than 15 minutes. Re-post on your bloggity blogs if you're so inclined (I hope!) and let's see what everyone comes back with!

Here are my fifteen in fifteen:

1. The Martian Chronicles by Ray Bradbury
2. Smoke & Mirrors by Neil Gaiman
3. The Once and Future King by T.H. White
4. David Copperfield by Charles Dickens
5. The Los Angeles Diaries by James Brown 
6. Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen
7. Different Seasons by Stephen King
8. Watership Down by Richard Adams
9. The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien
10. Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick
11. Neromancer by William Gibson
12. Cages by Dave McKean
13. The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
14. Clever Maids by Valerie Paradiz
15. Beloved by Toni Morrison

Internet-less & frustrated!

So, I had some time today to pop by the library, sign into a computer and log in to re-visit my blog which has been sadly ignored since the end of April!

ACK!

I am currently without internet access at my wee hobbit hole (i.e. home), and, as it looks as I shall remain so for a while, I shall have to try to get into the library more frequently.

Anyone out there who follows my blog still...I am alive and kicking! Please follow me on Twitter (there's a link at the bottom right of this page) as that is the only quick access I have at the moment!

Cheers!

Not a book review, a favorite poem.

Hope is the thing with feathers (254)


Hope is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,

And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.

I've heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of me.

~ Emily Dickinson

Christian the Lion (grab a hanky)

When Anthony “Ace” Bourke and John Rendall, two recent college graduates from Australia, wandered into the Pet Department in Harrod's of London, England, the last thing they expected to find was a lion cub for sale. Christian the lion quickly won their hearts and before they knew it, they had bought him, brought him home to their London flat, and began the job of, yes, raising a lion cub.

Ultimately, Ace and John knew that Christian was destined to live wild and be free and so, they embarked on a trip to Kenya, where George Adamson was working hard to rehabilitate lions into the wild.

This footage, taken one year after leaving Christian in Adamson's care, shows the remarkable reunion of the best friends: Ace, John, and Christian the lion.

What joy there is in true friendship...
