I'm usually not one to read books over and over though.

The Black Stallion, and all things Rudyard Kipling. Oh, and The Call of the Wild. Great Expectations, David Copperfield and pretty much all that Dickens wrote. <br /><br />The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym and Poe's mysteries. He was after all the father of the modern detective story. <br /><br />Okay. I'll quit blathering. Thanks for reminding me to re-read some of my old favorites. And for showing me the influence these books have had on my writing. =)Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3122888753760790051.post-83985116795897259142010-02-24T06:53:05.407-06:002010-02-24T06:53:05.407-06:00Ooo.
