I'm reading "The Yearling" to my daughter and finding it to be the same way. The young boy in the story is currently in a rapture of delight over April's light, its misty rain, and blooming plants. How well I know that feeling. And don't forget Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings," which has wonderfully descriptive passages about the local flora on the characters' journey.Pam/Digginghttp://www.penick.net/diggingnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31716379.post-9849925025271483832010-05-18T10:29:00.091-05:002010-05-18T10:29:00.091-05:00Amen Miss Maudie, Amen!
TKaM has always been on...Amen Miss Maudie, Amen! <br /><br />TKaM has always been one of my favorite books. I was devastated as a young girl not to have a tree with a hole in it where I could stash and exchange treasures. <br /><br />Great idea to re-read from a different vantage point.

And the "Miss Maudie" passage you quoted really just says it all, doesn't it?Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31716379.post-86095641610822017422010-05-18T08:31:04.325-05:002010-05-18T08:31:04.325-05:00My favorite AP re-read was "Catcher in the Ry...My favorite AP re-read was "Catcher in the Rye," and I loved "A Prayer for Owen Meany" much more the second time...but I didn't cry as much.
