Whew! First time in this thread. Lots of my favs mentioned, too, esp. Doyle; Sidhartha; and To Kill A Mockingbird. (Incidentally, one of my favourite cartoons, is a Mother Goose and Grimm, where the dog is sitting in an easy chair reading TKAM and says, at the end, "I thought it was an instruction manual!")

Marion Zimmer Bradley was correct for Mists of Avalon, also one of my favourites, as are her Darkover novels.

Big Daddy, I am glad you mentioned Told on the King's Highway and, A Treasury of Great Poems. I really enjoyed both.

Currently reading a fascinating and excellent biography (something I usually do not enjoy reading all that much)called "Secrets of the Flesh: A Life of Collette" by Judith Thurman.

A few others:

Where White Men Fear to Tread: The Autobiography of Russell Means
Razor's Edge - S. Maugham
White Witch - Elizabeth Goudge
Walking Drum - Louis L'Amour
1916: A Novel of the Irish Rebellion - Morgan Llywelyn
Dracula - Bram Stoker
Round the Bend - Nevil Shute
ANYTHING written by M.R. JAMES - Best ghost stories ever!!
Light in the Forest - Conrad Richter
Hnery V - Shakespeare
Arrows of the Queen & Heralds of the Queen series - Mercedes Lackey
Songkiller Saga - Elizabeth Scarborough

and LOTS more; kind of the same mind as Micca, although I have whittled my library down due to several cross-country moves.

LEEJ: GREAT IDEA! Let's do have a Mudcat book of the Month thread!
