    My goodness, but that's a hard choice. These are some engrossing stories!
    "The time has come," the Walrus said,
    "To talk of many things:
    Of shoes--and ships--and sealing-wax--
    Of cabbages--and kings--
    And why the sea is boiling hot--
    And whether pigs have wings."

    Indeed -- it is never easy to choose one.
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty

    This was a lot of fun! A wonderful hour long distraction from my essay to read all those,thank you!

    Great job everyone!
    I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.

    that was tough indeed.. great works everyone. Congrats in advance!
