I know it's already the middle of the year, but I'm joining the War Through the Generations 2010 focusing on Vietnam. My goal is to read five books, which I haven't chosen yet, other than a couple for group reads.
The first is a group read for Paco's Story by Larry Heinemann, hosted by the War Through the Generation ladies. Details can be found here. The set of discussion questions will be posted tomorrow, and I just picked up the book from the library minutes ago. I may be late getting going, but I'm getting used to that by now.
I am also hoping to join in on a discussion about The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien, hosted by Kim of Sophisticated Dorkiness. Details can be found here. There will be a Mr. Linky available July 26 to post reviews and see what thoughts everyone has.
I'm really glad you'll be reading The Things They Carried! If I'd been thinking ahead more I would have connected it up with the War Through the Generations ladies, but I'm not that organized :)

ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're joining us for the Vietnam War challenge and the Paco's Story Read-a-Long. Don't worry about getting a late start.
ReplyDeleteI'm participating in the Read-a-Long for The Things They Carried, too, as it was on my to-read list for the challenge.
This challenge looks fantastic! I will definitely follow your progress. I'm wanting to read more about war history (I just finished The Pacific by Hugh Ambrose). I can't wait to read your reviews!
ReplyDeleteThanks for signing up to read Vietnam War related books. I've got you on the official participants list now.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you'll be joining us for the Paco's Story read-a-long. I've been thinking about joining Kim's read-a-long too, though I think we were considering doing that one as a read-a-long later in the year as well.
