Welcome to Litsy!

I tried to read this one a long time ago and just couldn‘t get into it 😩

I spent most of my day off grading semester exams and late work, so now I'm getting back to #coffeeandabook for #20in4. @Andrew65

Day 25: Full Metal Jacket

My fiction grab bag finally arrived from HPB. Interesting selection and all hardback. It should be fun diving into these.

A graphic novel I picked up on a whim, and was glad I did. This is a memoir of a young boy who has to move from the US to Saigon in the early years of the Vietnam War. His father is a Vietnamese diplomat and becomes the personal interpreter to the Prime Minister of South Vietnam. It was fascinating to read of his experiences.

Two books from my stacks set in Vietnam for #GoodnightSaigon The tagged book is in my #TBR pile & is set in 1975 during the fall of Saigon & I hope to get to it one of these days. The Beauty of Humanity Movement is set in Hanoi & I read it back in 2011 for a book tour review. I paired it with pho (back when I ate meat) 😉as one of the main characters has a pho cart.

Just a little bit of #LiteraryHistory! I‘m staying at the Continental Hotel in #Saigon, #Vietnam - where Graham Greene wrote The Wuiet American… So, clearly that‘s the book I have to be reading right now!
