The Things They Carried

It's a good read, nothing special. You could probably finish it in one sitting. The title story has some really good prose. The religious imagery involving baptism is handled really well.

this was the first piece of american literature I picked on my own.
I found it very well written and the atmosphere remindes me of apocalypse now.
As I'm not a native speaker I enjoyed the simple and colloquial language

Tim O'Brien did a really good job, it puts you into the shoes of a Vietnam soldier in multiple different ways. It's worth getting.

What I liked most about the book, was the chapter "Sweetheart of Song Tra Bong", found it really interesting on how he explains absolutism and goes into talking about human nature. What did you think about it?
