30 Day Meme- Days Twelve and Thirteen

Dec 20, 2009 12:44

So, as you probably noticed that I missed updating yesterday, I was out with my family celebrating Christmas. So yesterday, day twelve was a "Whatever Tickles Your Fancy" day, and I'm choosing to not participate in day twelve. I honestly can't think of anything to choose for a topic. However, today, day Thirteen's topic is "A Fictional Book" and I have one that probably tons of people have heard of, but not many people have read...possibly:




Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo. Johnny Got His Gun is the story of a man in World War One who is caught in a bomb explosion. He loses his arms, legs, sight and sense of hearing. It's a truly disturbing but moving and deep book. It really makes you think about the price of war, and what life truly is. I've never been so deeply moved or disturbed by a book in my entire life. I recommend that everybody read it at least once.
