I always remember the book better than the film, but still, no slashing. Watership Down and Animal Farm are fine though.

Well, while we're talking EB White, what about 'The Trumpet of the Swan'? A swan that follows a young boy around because he taught it to blow a trumpet. (And I'm destroying my childhood memories one by one with this sordidness. :P I'll stop now.)

you'd have that somewhat more athletic (appearing) body shape

You would think so, but... no. It's more of a cross between slim-normal and weak-scrawny. I look like Pee Wee Herman could beat me in an arm wrestle. He probably could. :P

Can I swap bodies with you for a week? Just to know what it's like to have a curvy, womanly figure. I promise not to damage it in any way, unless it's not used to dorky dancing and spontaneous hand gesturing, in which case you might want to take out life insurance beforehand. :P

These days, I know the clothing styles to avoid

:P Damn to the powers that make certain styles inaccessable to certain body types! Like Matrix-jackets; tell me people in real life can wear them without looking like they encountered a terrible mishap at the garbadine factory. It just doesn't work. I must learn that. Some things look good on models, skinny actors and for others, you must have hips and a chest that are in proportion to one another. Alas. :P
