Is anyone familiar with Jean M. Auel's Earth's Children series? It started with Clan of the Cave Bear.
It goes back to the dawn of modern humans to a harsh and beautiful Ice Age world shared by a girl named Ayla and the ones who call themselves the Clan of the Cave Bear.
Although I did not get deep meanings from these books, I was completely enamoured by the fantasy and have read the entire series 3 times.

I've read most of them, although now that I think of it, I don't think I finished the last one -- I was in the middle of it when this depression hit so hard last year and I attempted suicide. Never did pick up again the book I was reading that day.
They're certainly enjoyable, and I liked that Auel did so much research. There was a lot in there that I didn't know about practical things, like preparing leather, etc. That's always something I enjoy, and I swear I learn almost as much from fiction as from nonfiction about really obscure things! All those little facts are like little gems that I can store up for the winter.
And I never got any "deeper meaning" from any of them, either, but I wasn't looking. Just good, enjoyable reads, with some bits and pieces of unrelated information to store away in my magpie's nest of a brain.

Oh, Racer. I am just thrilled to get your response. I have been following your "posts, threads, life" and know that you are going through so much.
It's really cool for me, the way that I am feeling right now........ to get a response from you.
