What would you say is the best book you ever read? Honestly, I’ve been thinking about it, and I don’t yet have the final answer. It might be The Lord of the Rings. I’ve read sooooo many books over so many years, so it’s hard to decide, but I have read the Lord of the Rings 3 times. Maybe Silence of the Lamb.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

My personal favorite is Hemingway’s The Green Hills of Africa. Don’t know why, but I just really love that book. Hemingway can describe a landscape in two sentences using third grade words, in perfect clarity.

Hemingway can describe a landscape in two sentences using third grade words, in perfect clarity. Ruark was better regarding hunting in Africa. Hemingway could distill a sentence better than anyone, no doubt.
