The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

Finished The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien. I'd heard of this book before I read it, but I thought it was about World War II when in fact it was about Vietnam. It is labeled as a work of fiction which is drawn from O'Brien's service during Vietnam.

Next up is Main Street by Sinclair Lewis.

Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen

Finished Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen. I can't say I really liked this book. Matter of fact it took me about a month to get through it which is way longer than the length of the book would necessitate. I can draw comparisons between the decent and honorable Colonel Brandon and myself. For instance, here is a description of Colonel Brandon that would also pertain to me:

"Brandon is just the kind of man," said Willoughby one day, when they were talking of him together, "whom everybody speaks well of, and nobody cares about, whom all are delighted to see,and nobody remembers to talk to."

Next up is The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien.
