I'll note as an aside that the Lit Club read Saki its very first year exactly seven years ago and as a result I don't many of us are still around.

ETA: Oh, and thanks for the Milne mention, which I'm going to go ahead and download. I'll admit I'm not much of a Pooh fan (being more in the Dorothy Parker camp), but this sounds delightful.
I forgot to check the Lit Club. Including yourself, that makes three still active participants (fantasyfan and Bookworm_Girl), were around for that. So not an ideal choice, my Milne idea might turn out to be better after all. (I can still read Saki for myself.) I like Milne's voice, so I'm happy to read almost anything of his I can get my hands on.

Thanks. I didn't realise NZ was still using 50 years after death of the author.
