I read the tales of Uncle Remus when I was a small boy and loved them. Recently, I found a copy of all of the tales online and decided to reread them. Still a great read. Brer Rabbit---and Uncle Remus himself---smokes a pipe.
Currently reading Mythago Wood, a classic of British fantasy literature. Been reading a lot of fantasy recently to keep me in that mindset, as I'm 21,000 words into a manuscript of my own, so it helps to keep me focused.
