Kipling Readings

The Washington Post defends Rudyard Kipling from the fashionable haters. From my point of view it's a Reading list of Kipling, “the greatest short-story writer in English“.

Though I notice three major omissions: If, The Gods of the Copybook Headings * and Tommy.

Sometime in my twenties I noticed a trend.

• Favorite Walt Disney film: Jungle Book
• Most memorable poem from English 9: The Ballad of East and West
• Wondrously exotic and inspiring film: The Man Who Would Be King
• College roommate's most enthusiastic literary discovery: If
• Entertaining exposé of remembrance day condescension: Tommy**

The time has come to confess that I am an admirer.
