A River Runs Through It............... Norman Maclean (1976)

Excellent choice!
" Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.
I am haunted by waters."


"All there is to thinking is seeing something noticeable which makes you see something you weren't noticing which makes you see something that isn't even visible."

Anything by Dr. Suess!

Again - I agree! Don't we all quote/remember Dr. Suess and include his phrases/references in our everyday cultural adult language more than any other author? And isn't he delightful to read both to yourself and out loud to your kids? And doesn't hearing language spoken, read, or sung to them from a very early age improve a child's understanding/learning ability? ABSOLUTELY

Seabiscuit........ Laura Hillenbrand (2001)

Agree - and thought the movie adaptation was great also.
I have given book/movie combos as Christmas gifts esp to teenage boys.
I have used Jack London, O Henry, and others before - I'll consider this combo in the future.
