    <body><![CDATA[Very dated with its Victorian, imperialist ideals, but it remains a great story of adventure, friendship and exotic peoples.  You could enjoy the book as a socialogical study of British attitudes of Kipling's day, or as the adventure it was written to be. It has a mythical quality to it, and employs...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/17739159">more...</a>]]></body>

Rudyard Kipling figures into my plot in a big way, and referencing this work allows me to make a prescient crack about Afghanistan. :)<br/><br/>Wow. That was hardcore.
