The Sun Also Rises

I've run across so many allusions to Hemingways' description of running the bulls in Pamplona that I was glad to finally ready the source. The book provided insight into the 1920s.

The Imperfectionists

Rachman has incredible insight into people at all stages in their life journey. His character sketches are deep and often surprising, and he interweaves them in a way that is ultimately very satisfying.

Skipping Christmas

This book was very light, and some of the details were hard to swallow. However, our book club had an interesting and enjoyable discussion about what skipping Christmas would mean to different people in the group.

The Killer Angels

Shaara does a wonderful job of portraying the possible thoughts and emotions of a group of officers at the Battle of Gettysburg. They come alive as fine and complex people.
