Analyzing ruins the books, makes it less fun

He was a friend of my brother that I knew well. His books about the VietNam war are excellent reading. I have all of them; except this one and that's why II'm here today and listening. We all grew up together in Worthington, Minnesota. A great place to grow up in. Much better life than currently. 2020 is now. I'm 75 and Tim is 74 now (if he's still alive)

[@AllStoriesAloud]

Thank you so much for sharing, and hope you enjoyed the narration. Tim is still alive as far as I know!

[@xeriffe8708]

thank you for sharing this :) currently reading this book for school, and it's phenomenal! One of my favorites....

[@coralaberdeen8062]

Thank you for sharing! I am not sure how I happened upon this story. I am in my late 40’s so I didn’t come here because of school. I would have read the book if it was for school. This is a beautiful story. I will be searching out more of his Vietnam stories to read on my tablet. If you hadn’t made your comment I would not have known to look for more from this author. Thank you :)

I have an 81-year-old man who has been an ‘Elroy’ to me for many years now. A man with an incredible lie story, his words are often few; he never pries, he has seen me in my best and worst moments, and never told me what to do. He has just been ... present. The world needs more ‘Elroys’ and less people who feel the need to fix others with their solutions.

[@Halogalandwanderer]

I appreciate the sentiment. But what if you’re in a situation where the loved one that refuses to be helped or help themselves is bringing you down in the process? Even tougher when I feel as if I wouldn’t be able to live with myself if I abandoned them in the midst of the chaos they are living through.

[@adriaanschepel9001]

@@Halogalandwanderer Hi Jay. I'm not sure I understand your reply, so maybe it might help if you expand a little further. Possibly you were thrown by my words about my dear old friend 'with an incredible lie story'. I meant, of course, 'life story'; it was a typo. He has been wonderful, wise presence to me! And so, so helpful -- without telling me what to do. A true Elroy ...

Truly wonderful writing and the narration does it justice. Thank you.

[@ANTSPlantation]

This is one of my favorite stories that school forces us to read

[@lzsstudio6474]

4 years ago I'd read this for high school. It was a long read that I despised, but I liked it. Today, after graduating college, I revisit in hopes to be guided by Tim's words again. I want to quit my internship I just started a week ago. But even as short as a week, I knew from the bottom of my heart this is not what I want to do with my life. To others, I may be disrespectful and irresponsible. But I know that if I don't quit this job, I'd but see myself a coward.

[@davidarmani1]

Thank you so much to both Tim O'Brien for writing such a captivating story and Jerry Edwards for a wonderful job reading it. ❤❤❤🌹🌹🌹

[@susanotway7875]

A wonderful story. Very poignant. A decision that many young men of that generation had to make...

Like God, or the gods who look on in absolute silence, as we live our lives, as we make our choices. Or fail to make them.

[@hopeadamson6923]

Prolly people who have to read it for school 😂

[@Halogalandwanderer]

I enjoyed it, but the slight pompous tone towards “hard hats” (the blue collar), equating “hicks” as automatically simple and uneducated was a bit annoying
