Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.
The student who assigned this book to me this semester kinda disappeared.
Then he reappeared in the hallway, asking if he should drop my class (what?) and could he have his book back (what?? not yet!).
I told him to come to class and let me finish the book.
He came back to class (to an ovation, for the record) and I finished this book.
You need to read it too.
Really, you do.
If you don't yet know that you care about WW2, read this book.
If you think WW2 was only in Europe, read this.
If you want to fall into a book and be carried down a strong stream, battered against rocks, read this book.
