  Second Childhood by Clifford D. Simak - Achieving immortality is only half of the problem. The other half is knowing how to live with it once it's been made possible—and inescapable! 
  You did not die. 
  There was no normal way to die. 
  You lived as carelessly and as recklessly as you could and you hoped that you would be lucky and be accidentally killed. 
  You kept on living and you got tired of living. 
  "God, how tired a man can get of living!" Andrew Young said. 
  John Riggs, chairman of the immortality commission, cleared his throat. 
  "You realize," he said to Andrew Young, "that this petition is a highly irregular procedure to bring to our attention." 
  He picked up the sheaf of papers off the table and ruffled through them rapidly. 
  "There is no precedent," he added. 
  "I had hoped," said Andrew Young, "to establish precedent." 
  Commissioner Stanford said, "I must admit that you have made a good case, Ancestor Young. Yet you must realize that this commission has no possible jurisdiction over the life of any person, except to see that everyone is assured of all the benefits of immortality and to work out any kinks that may show up." 
  "I am well aware of that," answered Young, "and it seems to me that my case is one of the kinks you mention." 
  He stood silently, watching the faces of the members of the board. They are afraid, he thought. Every one of them. Afraid of the day they will face the thing I am facing now. They have sought an answer and there is no answer yet except the pitifully basic answer, the brutally fundamental answer that I have given them. 
  "My request is simple," he told them, calmly. "I have asked for permission to discontinue life."

  Bambi is the beloved story of a young deer’s early years and coming of age in a forest with many dangers. Because deer are prey for humans, Bambi is taught from a young age about the dangers he will face and warned to always be cautious. He, and all the other creatures in the forest, fear humans. 
   
   
  The novel skips through bits of Bambi’s life to show him growing up, falling in love, experiencing loss and heartbreak, and learning more about humans each time he encounters them. Each encounter frightens him and solidifies his fear of the power of humans, until he makes a discovery about the harm that humans inflict on one another. As he grows up, Bambi discovers the true nature of power and compassion, and will come to understand his place in the balance of living creatures. 
   
   
  The story is a challenging exploration of the impact of humans on the natural world and creatures, but has all the charm of a coming-of-age novel. Bambi’s themes remain relevant and meaningful to readers nearly a century after its original publication.
