My three favourite Authors are . Robert Ruark " The Old Man and the Boy"
Rudyard Kipling "Plain tales from the Hills" and "IF"
O' Henry " One Hundred of the Masters Stories
introduced by James Hilton"
I also love such Australian authors as Henry Lawson, "Banjo" Patterson, CJ Dennis. and the English poet Will Oglvie "Saddle for a Throne" I also find JRR Tolkien fascinating, just finished an old translation of Beowulf. I love also reading the nordic sagas, The Illiad.Keep yo hoss well shod an yo powdah dry !

Check out Running With Scissors by Augusten Burroughs. It's really messed up, but fascinating.
