A story about "Iliad and Odyssey boxed set" — 3 years ago
I’ve read a number of translations of The Iliad. This one’s my favorite by far. You have to read it out loud. Every line is gorgeous.

A story about "The Things They Carried" — 3 years ago
I love everything about this book—it’s unflinching look at war, the slipperiness of truth and how the stories are often more true when they are fictionalized, the heartbreak within victory and the tenderness within killing. He gets at every paradox that makes us human.

I love how he finds gorgeous and tender moments inside moments you expect to be fierce and narcissistic. So very honest.
