The Pilgrim's Progress

John Bunyan
Jason CrouchJason Crouch

I read "The Pilgrim's Progress" by John Bunyan last week. Our pastor had encouraged our church to read this during Lent, and I realized I had never actually finished reading this one before, though I had started years ago. Bunyan's story is about the journey of every Christian,… https://t.co/UeQKUdkguP https://t.co/0E8rxxjzFa

Norman Mailer
Jason CrouchJason Crouch

A couple of nights ago, I finished reading "The Executioner's Song" by Norman Mailer, which gives a lengthy and extremely detailed account of the life and death of convicted murdered Gary Gilmore. This book was the winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1980, the year after it was… https://t.co/N8uiAz09lX https://t.co/YtT2MM4A1c

The Long Winter: A Newbery Honor Award Winner

Laura Ingalls Wilder
Jason CrouchJason Crouch

I recently read "The Long Winter" by Laura Ingalls Wilder, thanks to @umiami91. It gave me some some great perspective on how blessed I am not to live in the 1800's, and not to live where blizzards frequently take lives.

The Secret Garden

Frances Frances Hodgson Burnett
Jason CrouchJason Crouch

Since I recently made a miniature based on "The Secret Garden" by Frances Hodgson Burnett, I decided to read this book, and I'm glad I did. This novel is a magical experience. Without giving away too much, the story begins with young Mary, whose parents both die of cholera in… https://t.co/IsI0q4fI80 https://t.co/rw0OTyuF0m

One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest: Text and Criticism; Revised Edition

Ken Kesey
Jason CrouchJason Crouch

I recently read "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" by Ken Kesey, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts here. Many of you are probably already familiar with the movie adaptation, which won five Academy Awards in 1976. This is the story of a collection of patients in an… https://t.co/zEnnSVX45Y https://t.co/1AFXsy3myf

All Quiet on the Western Front

Erich Maria Remarque
Jason CrouchJason Crouch

I recently finished reading "All Quiet on the Western Front" by Erich Maria Remarque. This is a well-known title, but I knew little about what to expect. Remarque was a German veteran of WWI, and the story, though fictional, draws heavily from his experiences in the literal… https://t.co/fV2EdboGHU https://t.co/ijg99DVIwp

The Godfather

Mario Puzo
Jason CrouchJason Crouch

I recently read "The Godfather" by Mario Puzo. This is one of a handful of books I finished over the past month or so that were all adapted into movies later. In a nutshell, I was impressed with Puzo's writing, which was wonderfully evocative. This is also a page-turner, and… https://t.co/C1nRu9czFO https://t.co/PnJ4zFgrEf
