Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery
The last time I read this book was when I was in high school. I almost never reread books but this one is truly a treasure. Anne is a red headed orphan who is mistakenly adopted by an elderly brother and sister, Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert. They wanted a boy to help run the farm in their dotage. Anne, who is the most imaginative girl in literature, is full of spunk and folks will love reading about her adventures. An extra plus is when you read the book lying on a hammock :o)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button by F Scott Fitzgerald
This is a short story I read online about a man who is born an old man and as the years progress, he actually gets younger. The most entertaining parts are his relationships with his family. His father freaks out because he's afraid of what people will think. At a "young" age Benjamin smokes cigars with his grandfather. Eventually he plays with his own grandson as a peers. This story is being made into a movie with Brad Pitt.
