Each summer I look through the Summer Reading selections at the local bookstores to see what is new to the list and to see if there is anything I have missed.
I realized a few years ago that I have never read A Separate Peace by John Knowles and I finally picked it up this year.
I don't know what I was expecting, but A Separate Peace was a bit disappointing. Maybe reading it at 34 in 2009 resulted in me missing the meaning. However, I was reminded a lot of Dead Poets Society which brought me back to the summer of my sophomore year when I watched it repeatedly and basically had it memorized.
I'm probably insulting many people with that comparison, so apologies in advance.
