With the Old Breed: At Peleliu and Okinawa by Eugene Sledge has always stuck with me. It was a book I read in my early teens when I was fascinated with war but didn't really know what war was like. Sledge's book took away any romantic notions I might have had and really drove home the horrors that those men faced.

His book was used as source material for both Ken Burns's PBS documentary, The War, as well as the HBO miniseries The Pacific.

Great book! I'm a war book buff and have read just about everything I could get my hands on. This is one of the best. If you like books on Vietnam, try 365 Days. It's one of my favorites.

Favorite book for me is a real tough choice. I'll say A Journey To The Center Of The Earth by Jules Verne.

The TV show Revenge is supposed to be loosely based on this book.

That's the hot topic being taught these days, emotional intelligence.
