was a pretty good book actually that i remember when it came to the discussion and the book and holding my attention
A Separate Peace (1959)
Gene Forrester looks back fifteen years to a World War II year in which he and his best friend were roommates in a New hampshire boarding school.
it's one of the best books i've read and i feel bad about not putting it on that favorite book list but a separate piece although not a happy tale is one of the finest books you'll read anywhere

Leaving behind Sophie, his newly pregnant wife, Forrester records his extraordinary experiences in hopes that his journal will reach her if he doesn't return. As they map the territory and gather information on native tribes, whose understanding of the natural world is unlike anything they have ever encountered, Forrester and his team can't escape the sense that some great, mysterious force threatens their lives.
