Thanks, rags. Every young person should read "The Old Man And The Boy".
I read it the first time, 50 or more years ago. My Uncle loaned an old 'paperback' to me.
Now I have It in hard cover, as well as the sequel, "The Old Man's Boy Grows Older".

One of the greatest American Novels ever written. After reading that many years ago set me on the path of wanting to write. I think Ruark was a better writer than Hemingway. I too have both books, and another one called, I believe, "Uhuru", which is set, I believe in Africa.

Garry- Correct on all counts, Gary. Charlie
