Loved it even more on the re-read

Anti-war? Love it. Some beautiful prose? Sick. Not my favorite, but definitely a cultural icon.

DID NOT FINISH: 21%

Realised that I had tried this book before but then put it aside when I had watched the 1970s movie.  Attempting to read it again reminded me of the movie, which took the out of my sails to continue reading.
