Regeneration
by Pat Barker
At the time of writing this I'm in the midst of reading [b:Birdsong|6259|Birdsong|Sebastian Faulks|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165555939s/6259.jpg|1093016], which is what prompted me to come back to this book. I had previously given it five stars and listed it as a desert-island book, without having actually commented on it. There are a couple of great WWI novels out there: most of [a:Erich Maria Remarque|4116|Erich Maria Remarque|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1207351165p2/4116.jpg]'s work, some of Hemingway, perhaps [b:The Enormous Room|144896|The Enormous Room|E.E. Cummings|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172167333s/144896.jpg|285621] and Timothy Findley's [b:The Wars|44170|The Looking Glass Wars (The Looking Glass Wars, #1)|Frank Beddor|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170252564s/44170.jpg|918951], and so on. But when I picked up Birdsong again today and started re-immersing myself in WWI fiction, all I could think of was Regeneration, which set the standard for me. I push this book and its sequels on almost everyone I meet. I never travel without it. I can quote large sections of the text on demand. I think of it when I'm reading other books. And I cry every time I finish the trilogy. I don't know how I can endorse it more highly.
