Peter and all,

I would strongly disagree that the "tearjerkers" thread is off-topic! How
can bibliographies of these very endearing, and enduring books possibly be
considered OT? I would agree about politics, religions, and *maybe* the
regionalisms, but the "tearjerkers" thread? No way!!! I plan to use the
posted titles to beef up my fiction collection. Some people have a very
narrow view of what is appropriate if that thread is considered OT, IMO.
