Except for Hugo's Les Miserables, I prefer to read the full version rather than an abridged, or condensed version of books.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750140098374889888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521137437031942219.post-19856698872554321732011-08-01T21:44:12.870-05:002011-08-01T21:44:12.870-05:00Interesting.

This might be a way to slowly introduce some of the classics to our children...<br /><br />Also, yes, I will not be reading Old Yeller anytime soon.

I haven't had any luck finding it. Circa 1955-1958 Rudyard Kipling. The only thing I remember about the book was him mentioning his girl Friday. I saw a listing on Wiki that gives all the titles from the 1950's but nothing by Kipling. Sure wish I could find the darn thing. Second time in my life I set out on this adventure. On Ebay I have seen some editions in exactly the same binding as those books we had but of course nothing by Kipling. If anyone out there knows of another resource for me please respond. Thanks for the post..someone out there thinking of the same thing I was thinking of today..Oldnewbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01130445840269570654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3521137437031942219.post-81081517813861230152011-08-01T14:07:11.410-05:002011-08-01T14:07:11.410-05:00What popped into my mind when I read about your me...What popped into my mind when I read about your meme was high school, when my best friend Kristin introduced me to trash novels. I can't remember what the first one was called but it had a girl with long red hair running (kind of a tame cover...not so tame inside!).

My mom's best friend always had those Reader's Digest books in her bathroom.<br /><br />On the other hand between the ages of 10-12 my mother informed me I was not allowed to read her books with the lusty covers. ^.^ Not understanding what all the drama was, I took one and read it in secret. I was kind of rebellious, and a little disappointed in the book.Beth D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18032607556352052517noreply@blogger.com
