A birthday gift from Mother Nature!

I've been wanting to pick up Bringing Nature Home too, since reading about it on this site.

(BTW, we have to keep this site--I am finally back to posting as usual...but, I don't want to get complacent.)

I almost envy you, David, as you've not yet read either of these great works. I bet your local library has both... BTW, I've read Noah's Garden six times. There's a poetic quality to her writing that makes each read a totally new experience.

Wow...you really make me want to read it.

I find myself picking up an old favorite instead of reading a new book...not that I'm that avid of a reader, but even I have never read one 6 times!

I read Clan of the Cave Bear 3 times and Flowers for Algernon maybe 4.

...but, you do have me wanting to read these two--especially Noah's Garden. I was thinking winter would be a great time, but I have more free time in the summer. We'll see.

Thank you for your enthusiasm.
