Winter Reading - 1975-1976

These are some books I read during the winter of 1975-1976 based on my GoodReads app stats. These days I'm reading about a book a week and back then it was one a month.

At that time 50 years ago I was in my second year of college full time and working part time at the VA center. I had bought a house the house in early 74 and at the time was living with a bunch of guys going to school. I was also buying lots of albums and going to concerts regularly.

Most of my reading was classroom related but I did find some time for some pleasure reading.

  • Dog Soldiers - Robert Stone, 1974 - Feb 76
  • The Snow Walker - Farley Mowat, 1975 - Jan 76
  • An American Tragedy - Theodore Dreiser, 1925 - Dec 75

Dog Soldiers was one of the many books about the Vietnam War that I would read over the years. I would also read a few books by the conservationist Farley Mowat. He was an amazing writer. I should read a few more of his books. The only other Dreiser book I've read is Sister Carrie.
