Tarzan of the Apes

Just an update on Tarzan - it will be waiting for me tomorrow at the Library so I can finally start reading it. Is anyone else reading Tarzan? read more I just love getting those phone calls that let you know that "an item" is waiting for you. Of course, I usually have 10-20 items on hold at any one time, so I have to turn on the computer and log in to the library system to find out which one has come in. Currently I'm waiting for the first season on CSI, and two new books by Anne McCaffrey and Mercedes Lackey. Plus a book by Dorothy Gilman, two books by Dawn Cook, and a few more I can't remember right now.

I have a confession to make - I went to the library, looking for Tarzan of the Apes, and I saw a small little paperback called The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. I thought "hmmm... small... Jungle ?= Africa... sure... good movie..." and I picked the book up and took it home.

Unfortunately for me, The Jungle Book is placed in INDIA. Oops. Of course, I still like it, but now I have to go back to the library for a book to fit the AFRICA theme. Silly Julie! Something cool though, is that Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is part of The Jungle Book - it's actually a collection of stories, with stories about Mowgli, poetry, and other stories.
