[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 614123, member: 1967"] I am reading The Death of Santini: The Story of a Father and his Son by Pat Conroy. Pat Conroy is one of my favorite authors and this is the story of his family that was the subject of The Great Santini. He had sanitized his father's brutality in the Great Santini and presents it in full force in this book. Yet, it is a story of love between a father and son despite a truly dysfunctional family relationship. I also just finished Fannie Flagg's novel, The All-Girl Filling Station's Last Reunion. If you enjoyed her book, Fried Green Tomatoes, you would enjoy this one. It was a fun read and I really came to care about the characters. DDD, I loved John Irving's novel, The Cider House Rules, so I looked up the book you recommended and was delighted to see that the Kindle edition only cost $4.00. It is on my Kindle now. :-) ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
