Amazingly, even though I have been a prolific reader all my life (read Ben Hur when I was in 5th grade) I have never read this one. Mrs. Pablo64 has read it and she has placed it on our list of required reading for our homeschooled children, so I guess I better get busy and get it read (it wouldn't do for the kids to have one up on old dad).

"... I guess I better get busy and get it read (it wouldn't do for the kids to have one up on old dad)." It's an easy read, but you'll find the mental images stay with you for a very long time.
I think that's the mark of a good writer. Even simple words can evoke a powerful image.
