The reason I mentioned The Cave had less to do with portuguese than it did the fact that it has an awesome dog in it.

Some of my favorite reads have been books that were not originally written in English. I would count among these, 100 Years of Solitude, Crime and Punishment and The Stranger

Enjoy the epic poem!

Wonderful! That link confirmed two things that I've long suspected but never confirmed: 1. Dogs often resemble their owners and 2. Angela Landsbury was once young.

I have a "literary dog" of my own. Pictured here on the right is my dog named "Hemingway". On the left is my musical dog named "Harrison".
