Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Oh! I can picture the cover. I don't think I read it but I affirm its existence.

I don't recall that one.

But I went to the horse book website and found this page of Wesley Dennis illustrations for Black Beauty. I seem to recall that lovely cover picture.

(Back to Henry: anyone else read Black Gold?)

And a link to a page of Dennis covers. I swear I read all of those books!

Well, except for the last two.

Laga, I know that Justin Morgan's sire was said to be a thoroughbred - and if his dam was a "Dutch" horse. . does this mean that Morgans go back to Friesans?

Because books.

I wasn't really horse crazy, but I did read Misty of Chincoteague and Stormy, Misty's Foal. I can't find my copies, sadly.

I will go off about the awesomeness of morgans with very little notice.

There's a reason that Almanzo Wilder's horses Prince and Lady were Morgans--he was a firm advocate of the breed.

dana - could you be thinking of this series by Linda Craig about a girl and her palomino solving mysteries?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I think that's probably them, sumi. Thanks! Googling for "palomino club" just brought up a whole bunch of results for strip clubs.

Oh! What were his other team's names?

Man, when I'm done reading All of a Kind Family with Sara, I really want to start on the Little House books. Whether she likes them or not, to be honest.

I've read Black Gold --I read everything by Henry in every library in reach--but I don't remember it. I always liked King of the Wind best.
