The things they carried is wonderful. Historical fiction isn’t normally my first genre choice but this book is one of my all time favorites regardless. I really liked “Sweetheart of the Song Tra Bong” and the water buffalo bit still makes me sad to the point of almost feeling a little queasy (I’m a big softie or animals / babies / anything too innocent to fully understand it’s own suffering)
