I made a point of reading all of the Hardy I could get my hands on when I was an undergraduate, but I haven't heard of The Trumpet Major. Where does that fit in his ouevre?

I also read some Anya Seton, but haven't heard of Devil Water. Any idea if that was published under a different title elsewhere?

I reread several as a child--The Secret Garden, Caddy Woodlawn, several of Bevery Cleary's books. In my teen years and into my twenties I think I reread the Lord of the Rings three or four times.

I read so much in graduate school (that all had to be read a couple of times to get the full meaning) that I didn't get to do much recreational reading for several years. I like short stories, though, and have read and reread many by Roald Dahl. And I have some favorite poets I read and reread with the kids. Robert Frost and Shel Silverstein, in particular.
