I am reviewing books for our schools Truly Modern Literature course- they have to be read by a teacher, an administrator, a student and a parent before they are approved. And it's been my privilege to read and reread some really remarkable books. I reread Things They Carried, and Into Thin Air. Things They Carried is a fantastic book about Vietnam. I don't think I've ever read anything better, and I'm so glad our school is adding it to the bookroom. They Marched Into Sunlight is very good, but Things They Carried is just as good, and a lot faster to read. Into Thin Air is remarkable- and the new addition at the back of the book, addressing the differences between the author of The Climb and Jon Krakauer is fascinating. I can also heartily recommend Betsey Brown. I haven't started The Lone Ranger and Tonto have a Fistfight in Heaven- but I was very surprised to find out that a movie I really liked (Smoke Signals) was based on the book.
