I decided to dedicate some time out of this very much dull summer to read a good deal of them. Just to add some kind of goal to fill the days. If I can find them all because it seems that I always find the second book of that Homecoming series but not the first. It peeves me to a boil every time I see number two on the cover.
You can find lists of OSC's books, short stories, reviews etc in the OSC Library. You find the link in the box on the top of every page here at Hatrack.
The Homecoming series: 1- The Memory of Earth 2- The Call of Earth 3- The Ships of Earth 4- Earthfall 5- Earthborn

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, There they are a standin' in a row, Big ones, small ones, some as big as your head, You give 'em a twist, a flick of the wrist, That's what the showman said.
Oh I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts, Everyone you throw will make me rich, There stands the wife, the idol of me life, Singing roll a ball, a ball, a penny a pitch.
CHORUS:
Singing roll a ball, a ball a penny a pitch, Singing roll a ball, a ball a penny a pitch, Roll a ball, a ball, roll a ball a ball, Singing roll a ball, a ball a penny a pitch.

Oh, and Pooka. -smacks him across the face with the spine of Moby Dick- Hate that book with a vengence.

Why does that song make me think of breasts? That's just weird. And it has nothing to do with books ^^

And whenever I hear that song, I just can't help but think of the scene in the Lion King where Zazu is singing it to Scar and then mutters to himself, "Oh, I would never have had to do with with Mufasa."
I can quote the whole movie. I'm not joking. Just try me.

I like the Lion King, but... He's king of a bunch of people he has to eat! (except elephants, I'd like to see a lioness try to take down an elephant) What the heck is up with that?

Remember, this is children's entertainment. We ignore the obvious. Harry Potter certainly would have been allowed to keep living with his neglectful uncle who practically starved him and made him sleep IN A CUPBOARD. A dog is a *fine* subsitute for a baby-sitter. Lassie? I won't even go there.

That's why I love children's entertainment. It doesn't make sense in this reality.
Even made up characters need to eat sometimes to seem real. As long as the food is happy about it who cares. They were just happy that the circle of life was put back in order. So there.
