The Sorrow of War by Vietnamese author Bao Ninh, <br />A Bright Shining Lie written by Neil Sheehan, Night Comes to the Cumberlands written by one of Kentucky's favorite sons, he also wrote a very funny book about practicing law in the mountains called, Slender is the Thread. But if you really want your funnybone tickled, try The True Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by John Seelye.<br />LH in KYAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663325692700112562.post-6749932291267515652009-07-24T10:33:00.276-07:002009-07-24T10:33:00.276-07:00Levinson, I already ready American Brutus two year...Levinson, I already ready American Brutus two years ago based on your recommendation. It's now one of the books I always recommend. Give me the Caine Mutiny when I see you. <br /><br />JR, I randomly saw that book the other day at the library. The author has a name close to Murakami because the book was right near all of his. I'll check it out. <br /><br />Thanks!Benjaminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06425453650024691669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2663325692700112562.post-82856411009832817142009-07-24T09:37:28.882-07:002009-07-24T09:37:28.882-07:00If you're looking for books about Japan, you m...If you're looking for books about Japan, you might check out IN THE MISO SOUP.

also ...I think you would like the Caine Mutiny... <br /><br />also American Brutus by Michael Kaufmann--It's a bio on J.W. Booth and the Lincoln assasination plot, but reads more like fiction...
