[quote=Anonymous]I loved The Book Thief. Reading The Goldfinch now and it's just gotten to the part where I get why people recommend it. There's another Nazi WWII one, appropriate for DC crowd, called In the Garden of Beasts…it's a novel about real-life people; American diplomats in Germany as WWII comes about, and in particular, the young adult daughter, who starts dating Nazis. Very interesting. My all-time favorite book is "Gates of Fire," about the famous Spartan defense at the pass at Thermopolyae. (I'm a woman, btw, but I love it because) it's great writing about a very interesting event--it was the first time ancient Greeks stopped seeing themselves as bickering city-states (Athenians, Spartans, Corinthians, etc) and saw that the larger picture--saw the idea of being Greek and being a free people--as more important than their tribal differences. Without this battle, the USA would not be in existence. As usual, the Greeks are outnumbered but resort to their wits.[/quote]
