taking an ill-advised break from- go on, guess!

Commencement is in four days. I'll smile and accept my diploma and pretend to be a role model for my four adorable cousins who will no doubt be wearing matching dresses and then I will leave this state and settle down to a nice low-key job answering telephones where I will NEVER HAVE TO WRITE ANOTHER PAPER AS LONG AS I LIVE

I forgot how much I loved this book until you reminded me.

Thanks. :) I'll have to go dig it up now.

I really liked that book when I read it. And every time I hear/see the word lemon tree... well, yeah. ^^;

Congrats on commencement! :D

If I didn't already have The Things They Carried on my reading list, your review might have convinced me. I fit all of the recommended and none of the disrecommended. ^^

Thank you!

Man, I had no idea so many people had read/heard of this book.

I found it through reading book reviews on Amazon. *bookdork* D: And the Borders next to my work currently has a copy propped up on one of their display tables, so I guess it's fairly popular/well-recommended.

Tim O'Brien's other work, or what I've read of his work, is also excellent. I love how thoughtful and sharp and caring he is.
