If i had to pick a song for the book I'm reading it would be Letters From Home by John Michael Montgomery. In the book I'm reading it talks allot about the things that the soldiers carried and one of the most important things that kept them going were the letters they received from there family and friends. In the song it does a good job of showing what those letters meant to the soldiers.

So far in the book The Things They Carried is pretty much been a bunch of stories about soldiers and there expierences. It also tells about some of there lives after they get back home from Vietnam.

Read 3.5 hours for a total of 13.5
