I love to read but really do not have the time to do some casual reading on the side. However, when I do get the chance, which is indeed very rare, I want to make sure that what I am reading is of a quality that I am sure to enjoy. Here are some popular books from professor Tobias Wolff that are both critically acclaimed and recommended by the general audience as well…
This Boy’s Life is Tobias Wolff’s this coming-of-age book. The book reviews on This Boy’s Life have been quite positive. In fact, Wolff’s book was so popular and moving that it was scripted and created into a critically acclaimed movie starring Robert De Niro and Leonardo DiCaprio. This book was based on Tobias Wolff’s own story of adolescent years while growing up and being raised by his mother. Wolff was quite the rebel, and his story was very well told.
Bullet in the Brain is rather detailed and graphic. It is one of Tobias Wolff’s short stories. A bank heist, a gun shot, a bullet plowing through the main character’s head, and the entrance of thoughts that come right after the hit. A very interesting and though-provoking read.
Our Story Begins: New and Selected Stories is a collection of short stories by Tobias Wolff. Actually, Bullet in the Brain is one of those short stories included in the collection. So if you would like to read Bullet in the Brain, you’ll have to get Our Story Begins.
Well, that should be sufficient for you fix of good reads. The Amazon book store is well-stocked with great reads, but with so many to choose from, perhaps a review and recommendation is not such a bad thing. Happy reading!
