I recently saw this topic posted on another site and thought we might enjoy it here on WD.

Two books instantly come to mind, interestingly enough, by the same author:

The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck

Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck

As a child, these two made be weep copiously:

Old Yeller by Fred Gipsin

The Call of the Wild by Jack London

Thanks to whoever gave me a new avatar. Don't know why there's still a red x on other posts.

The rest should appear when the server updates tonight.

I noticed Cervantes went AWOL so I took the liberty of finding you a new one. Seeing a post by you without him just didn't seem right. Cool

The person hosting the old one shut down her site. So, thanks again.
