Book Of The Month


i've decided that my book of the month is The Caine Mutiny, but Herman Wouk. it might be cheating to choose this one because i haven't finished it yet, but it's so good that i just can't help myself. It won the pulitzer prize for fiction in 1952, but don't let that scare you away. it is by no means a dull, boring or dry read. it's set during world war two and follows the crew of the u.s.s. caine, who is under the command of a completely incompetent captain. i haven't gotten up to the actual mutiny part yet, but it's coming soon and i'm getting so excited! maybe it's just because i love reading about this time period, but this book is fascinating to me, and i'm having a hard time putting it down. i could barely tear myself away from it long enough to post this message! thanks to my little bro for turning me onto it. check it out at your local library. if you like it, i would also suggest that you read From Here To Eternity. it's probably one of the greatest war novels of all time, and was actually published in the same year as The Caine Mutiny. once again, run, don't walk, to your local library and get this book. you will not regret it. i promise.
