What book did you read as a kid that you still think about?

I feel like if I re-read Island of the Blue Dolphins, I’ll learn or remember something about myself that I’ve forgotten.

Anyone want to reread a book you loved & share what you discover? Which one?

I haven’t posted in a while, but come tonight to remind everyone to eat polenta.

It’s cheap. It’s delicious. Your forearms will get ripped in the process.
