Just finished reading Treasure Island aloud to the boys. I've read it a half dozen times, and always with fresh pleasure. Stevenson is probably my favorite author - the best storyteller I have ever read, who seems to take immense delight in people, both good and bad. Long John Silver has my vote for most fascinating character in all literature! And the fact that it's all about the sea and sailing is icing on the cake for me!
I like Captain Flint (The parrot)!
ReplyDeleteNext up for me is the autobio of Mandela, but perhaps TI after that?
