Suresh - lots of Kipling. > I missed that in the post. Kipling is a favourite, and I find *Stalky & Co.*one of the best boys' books ever.
"Sir Richard Burton's "The Arabian Nights". Complete and unexpurgated." Where can I get it?! "Westerns by Louis L'Amour" The only Western writer I really liked, even though he does recycle essentially the same plot over and over again. But then, its a trope. * Stagecoach*, for example, neatly encapsulates all the standard Western stereotypes, plus a happy-ending version of Maupassant's *Boul de Suif*. -- J. Alfred Prufrock "Gliding wrapt in a brown mantle, hooded I do not know whether a man or a woman - But who is that on the other side of you?"
