I read a book in 7th or 8th grade that takes place during either WWI or WWII and I really would like to check it out again. I read it as part of my assigned reading in school so I figured some of you youngsters might have read it recently... My memory of the book is really scattered mostly because I read dozens of war books, but I remember one part where the protaganist is stuck in a trench with the enemy and he sees that he is very much like him. I know that's not much to go on, but I really can't remember anything else specific. |

This is probobly a dumb question, actually, I have 3 dumb questions. 1. Do you still live in the place where you grew up? (7th or 8th grade) 2. Do you remember the name of your teacher or if he/she is still alive? 3. Where you in honors or regulars? (Hell, I don't know if they seperated it back when you where in school (not that i'm calling you old, ------------- For every second spent wondering if you can do something, you could spend 2 seconds doing it. |

| I never read books, but since you said there was a trench, there is a big possibility that is was in WWI. WWII is more the war of moving fronts, so there wasn't really place for trenches. |

Garage: 1) Naw and I wouldn't go to my old Junior High if I did. I'm much too lazy for that kind of effort. Brian the Great: That's true. I'm not so sure it was a trench... could've been a bunker, foxhole or something else. Edit: Oops, I replied to the wrong person. |

I think the only book I read that was remotely related to war was Slaughterhouse 5 ------------- |
