For the summer, I've been giving a bunch of choices to read. I went to Boarder's today and looked up a couple of books.

The Forgotten Soldier by Guy Sajer seems to be really good from the reviews. I went to the store, but they didn't have it in stock; I couldn't sample any sections.

It is 400 some pages if I remember correctly from the booklist. I have to hand in a 5 page paper (really easy, more so if it is a 400 page book) and watch 2 movies (easy as hell...2 page paper per movie). August is going to be really busy for me, but I'm sure if it's a book that I'd love, then I think I can easily finish the 400 pages.

Have any of you guys ever read this book? I saw the reviews on [url:44006]http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1574882856/002-0469292-7338434?v=glance[/url:44006] and they all seem to be positive.

I'm going to read either this book or The DaVinci Code by Dan Brown. What would you guys go with?
