December Book Education Wandering Man SPOILER ALERT!

Education of A Wandering Man is a quick read. I am about a third of the way into after one evening. At this point what I am enjoying the most is that the prose reminds me of my late father and his way of expressing himself. Perhaps it is characteristic of that generation of midwestern young men, who experienced the depression and WWII? At any rate I enjoy that it reminds me of Dad.

So whenever you guys see fit just talk about it and I would like to discuss this book.
Good morning, Wes. I am ready.
I enjoyed the book. LAmour tended to go off on tangents in his prose but I liked that aspect, It gives the feeling of a conversational,"oh,by the way." It was valuble in its insights to young men of that generation trying to find their way.
While he did brag at times and preach a little that is your perogative if you are writing you own story.
the listings of his reading was amazing. I have never heard of most of tose titles.

Wes,
It is tempting to look up some of the titles L'Amour mentioned. There is just so much out there!

This is a book to keep for a lifetime and refer to when one is at the library and they are out of all of the other books you were intent on reading. I love the soft and easy flow of the book, his narrative is very peaceful and his story telling skills strong. I can see why he was so successful at telling stories for other media.
