Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack
Countdown to Pearl Harbor: The Twelve Days To The Attack by Steve Twomey I really wasn’t expecting much of this read; I grabbed it while I was at Pearl Harbor because how could I not get a book while I was there?

Pat Conroy is an amazing writer. I loved "The Lords of Discipline" he wrote, loosely based on his years at the Citadel Military College in Charleston, SC. From everything I ever heard from those who attended the school in the 60's and even the 70's, much of what he wrote is spot on.
I will put this book on my to read list!!
I placed this one on my book list!❤️
