    ^also a book I own and still haven't managed to read entirely...perhaps you need to be an intellectual (or bored out of your wits) to enjoy this "classic" of the last century.

    OK - have you read The Cat In The Hat. It's about a cat who wears a hat and I think he eats some Green Eggs and Ham with an elephant called Sam

    No, but I did read Janet & John and read Peter and Jane with my kids. But neither are in the same class as The Cat in the Hat. Then there's The Village with Three Corners.

    Hmmmmm. Perhaps one needs to have a fine appreciation of the absurdity of life....after all most of what we do is from one point of view absurd..
    War is one thing, business mania---which is the real story in the book, is another...

    Now, new question: What do Darhadďn Bowl , Selenga, Ozero Bajkal, and Karskoje More all have in common?

    I know that both Darhadin and Selenga are in Siberia and that Ozero Baykal or Baikal (I am assuming Ozero Bajkal is a alternate or more correct spelling of the same thing) is the largest (by water volume) and deepest fresh water lake in the world is in Siberia, but other than that I am so far stumped and I have never heard of Karskoje More, but if it too is a body of fresh water I am guessing it is in Russia as well

    So to link them, are they all part of the same river system. i.e. The Selenga River is sourced in the Darhadin Bowl in Mongolia, flows into Ozero Baykal before emptying to the Arctic sea via Karskje More?

    So close.. and Karskje More is Kara Sea but maybe closer to --if we had it in English---Kara-ish Sea.... Missing one element.....
