I'm 37. Today.
Right. June's classic is The Once and Future King by T H White. I'm still on The Sword in the Stone, and it's proving to be sort of slow going. I'm enjoying it, and parts of it remind me of Harry Potter (although I suppose that should be the other way around) but it's certainly taking a while to get through.
The Sword in the Stone is the set-up; young Wart is being raised as the son of Lord Ector, along with Ector's own son, Kay. The boys get a tutor in the shape of Merlyn and there seems to be a awful lot of changing Wart into things. Robin Hood's in this one as well, and a part of me just wants to sink into the story, while a part of me is thinking "come oooooooooon ....".
I got Odd Hours, the fourth Odd Thomas book by Dean Koontz out of the library today and I'm trying not to start it until Saturday, so I don't accidentally end up staying up until 3am. So far so good, and it gives me something to look forward to for the weekend. :)
I'm also reading Momo by Michael Ende and, because I felt like something a bit grown-up, I started Fool Moon by Jim Butcher, Book 2 of the Dresden Files.
That'll do for now.

Happy birthday!
I love The Once and Future King. I thought that the first and last books were the slowest, but once the story picks up it's hard to put down. I hope you enjoy it :)
Happy Birthday, Maree! You are a mere baby! :)
Happy Birthday!! Meanwhile, that list of books looks good... I have been meaning to read The Once and Future King for a while. Either way, have a great day!
Happy birthday, Maree. My birthday was two days ago. I turned 39...at least, you still can say you're just over 35. Me? I have to say I'm almost 40. :(
I was 37 just a few days ago too!
Happy Birthday!
Just a baby...
Happy birthday. What kind of cakey will you be having?

Mmm ... cake ... nothing yet; maybe I can talk the husband into making me one on Saturday.
Hey GEMINI! (me, too!) Happy Belated B-Day, -Care
