Have you ever read Shane? Yes, it is a "Western" but it also transcends just being a Western. I think this is a very important book. When you read it, you will find out why. You folks who are happy with this choice because you think it is a Western, will be very surprised that it is much more than just a Western. And you folks who are disappointed to find out that it is just a Western will be pleasantly surprised for the same reason. This is why I chose Shane to lead off the reading list. It isn't what you think it will be.

Oh, and if you think you know what Shane is all about because you saw the move, you are wrong. And, as I stated, I wanted to start off the assignment with an easy read but one with an important message.

LOL. I'm going to give PJ a chance on this one and read it before I pass judgement. We can always do Proust at a later time.
