Finished up book No. 4, "The Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling.
I was surprised that was a compilation of stories and not just the Jungle Book story. :)
One of the stories included is Rikki Tikki Tavi. It reads almost exactly as I knew it from the animated version. :) I love that story and it was so enjoyable reading it. :)

Book List 2016:
1. Schooled in Revenge by Jesse Lasky
2. A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie
3. Kicking and Dreaming by Ann & Nancy Wilson with Charles R. Cross
4. The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling

It's a little tough with the foreign names to read, but I enjoyed it. :)

I thought I was going to get book 5 done before the end of January, but I have gone a couple of days without getting any reading done. Ugh...

It was nice to read a classic that I actually enjoyed. I have read some others that were just awful. :(

I read The Jungle Book years ago, I remember it's a great book (and the basis of The Scout Movement), but more than that ... Nada. As a side note, I just finished book 4 too.

Congrats to you. :)
I was hoping to get a good start on No. 5 last night, but then all of a sudden my shift at work got busy. Didn't even get my break. :(

Aw it's been YEARS since I read Rikki Tikki Tavi!

After reading The Jungle Book, I was surprised at how closely the Rikki Tikki Tavi animated special follows the book, because The Jungle Book doesn't. :p

For me the hardest thing was the "foreign" names. It cuts down on my flow of reading when I stumble of them. lol...
