I really had grand plans for a post this month about A.A. Milne’s poetry. However, I’ve been reading Les Miserables and not blogging much. Believe it or not, I also have quite an active life outside of reading (gasp!), and my “real” responsibilities often encroach on my reading and blogging time. Oh, what I could do if all I had to do was read! ; )
I discovered A.A. Milne last year and fell in love. This is a rather exhaustive post I did about him and his works for Read Aloud Thursday. Enjoy!

You should totally link up your post on A.A. Milne directly! I expected you would, was going to think to say so, and then forgot! It’s a perfect post!
Loved your other post. I think you are so right – while these books are for children, the adults are moved more by how precious they really are. 🙂
Well Les Mis dies take work!!
I’m waiting to get past the war stuff in Les Mis. I was bogged down in a few chapters, so I also should just soldier through (okay — pun totally NOT intended, but so funny!).
