(Not sure about Garfield.)<br /><br />GIFT OF THE MAGI, too is a very touching story.<br /><br />We read O Henry in school years ago. I wonder if they still read his work.<br /><br />I've been meaning to read THE SPARROW since forever. Maybe this year. So much to read, so little...well, you know how that goes.Yvettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08919246184376538331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-6935479473496924622011-06-15T05:44:09.964-05:002011-06-15T05:44:09.964-05:00I don't read short stories for the most part, ...I don't read short stories for the most part, with a few exceptions, and O. Henry is definitely one of them. I love his stories; I had wanted to read Owen Meaney, and then someone told me about it in a way that essentially ruined it for me, I guess revealing the aww moment...so I never did read it :(TheBookGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04299629066975342607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-45380696004873610462011-06-15T02:50:15.741-05:002011-06-15T02:50:15.741-05:00I havn't read any of these :(

I've read a few other of your nominated books. Most recently Old Yeller of course. What a fabulous read. The Sparrow is languishing in my TBR, one of the ones that is causing me the most guilt. Trudy sent it to me and I haven't got to reading it yet.Louisehttp://astrongbeliefinwicker.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.com
