E.B. White, One Man's Meat

I love staring at the cover photo on my edition of E.B. White's, One Man's Meat. Of all the books I own, this may be the one with the best looking cover. I don't know what it is, the photo just captures my attention.E.B.'s writing captures my attention as well. He can put a sentence together. Who would've thought that one man's observations on daily life in rural Maine during WWII would prove so intriguing. I'd like to write more like White--succint, clever, clear. White is one of those few authors whom, as you read, make you want to write.My favorite essays from One Man's Meat include:-Sabbath Morn-A Shepherd's Life-Maine Speech-The Trailer Park-Once More to the LakeThe only other book I've read by White is Charlotte's Web. I must have been 7 years old when I read about Wilbur and Charlotte. It's been good getting re-aquainted with the author who brought those characters to life.
