Ah…one of the greatest American novels. I hope all of you enjoy it. Many of my past students have found the love story in this one fun to read and the war parts exciting. We’ll spend some time discussing this one in the fall, so it’s best to read it closer to September. Post your thoughts here, and make sure you at least fill the box.
