All quiet on the western front.


I think the thing about All Quiet On The Western Front is that it isn't particularly about plot, so it isn't for everyone. It's more about characterization, how war manifests itself within these sacks of flesh and blood and transforms it into something unseen before. That's its primary focus, and I've always been a person with a passion for characters and their idiosyncrasies and how dynamic and fluctuating their fundamental core is, so I thought the book was fascinating, but I think people who prefer plot-driven things won't like it as much.

And I personally never could get into Cry, The Beloved Country, by Alan Paton, which is really strange because black studies and such really fascinate me.
