What is Pat Conroy?
1.
Supreme and captivating author who is incredibly insightful and starkly honest, but not brooding. Lots of life and humor and pausing on the pages to savor a thought. Lots of great thoughts:
***The Great Santini;
***The Lords of Discipline (about his time as a cadet at the Citadel);
***The Prince of Tides (the movie, though fair, utterly dies in comparison to the masterful book);
***Beach Music (incredible. speaks to the soul who dares to be so honest. Lots of gems of life);
***My Losing Season (autobiographical about his time on a losing basketball team at the Citadel/ Completely LOVED it from cover to cover even though I do not follow basketball much. It is about much more than basketball);
***The Water is Wide
I couldn't sleep last night. Yup- I was reading a Pat Conroy book.
