Well, most of those authors are from before i discovered /lit/. I guess you could say that i seem to follow the accepted western classics, but that is mostly stemming from a wish to read the classics to gain a broad literary base. You are almost always guarenteed to get something good, when you delve into the classics. But you are probably right. I should be more willing to experiment.

Great book! I have always had a great interest in the Eastern front of WW2, so i was easily hooked on the setting. But Grossman is still a great writer. I like the way the story manages to gain such a broad character gallery, while still keeping a strong narrative. If that makes sense?

I plan on reading it later this year. His nonfiction WWII journalism book is really good, you can see where he got his inspiration. He lived and experienced all of it.

So what's the concensus on how to do my profile here? I have about 60 books read listed but it's only things I read on my own starting probably around 10th grade when I began reading again. Am I supposed to drown those out by listing every Harry Potter book and all of the assigned books in highschool and stuff like Where the Red Fern Grows that I read when I was about eight?
