Unbroken

Our next book club book is the true story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic runner and WWII bombardier / POW in Japan.  Laura Hillenbrand, of Seabiscuit fame, wrote this almost unbelievable biography of Zamperini's survival - first on a raft in the Pacific for 47 days, and then several years in various POW camps with worse than horrendous conditions.

After this very intense read, I am now ready for some lighter fare.

I read Unbroken this spring/summer; wasn't probably the best introduction to Japanese culture as we prepared to spend the year here...
