I just finished reading this book, 'A Sort of A Saga' by Bill Mauldin. It's 301 pages and has lots of cartoon pictures that he himself drew for this book relating to his stories that he tells. It was printed in 1949 for $3.50. I just bought it on Amazon and I love it! I bought it, hardback, for $5.95 plus shipping. It's entertaining to read! I laughed all the way through it! Just ask your dad. I had to make several, ummm, potty stops, and enjoyed the book immensely!
I grew up in the southwest in southern New Mexico. The book takes place not far from where we lived. It also has a few chapters when they lived in the Phoenix, Arizona area. I highly recommend this book for reading. If you can't get it at your local library I would be happy to loan it to you. My dad read the book and I read it when he was finished. I was 13 at the time. I read it again around age 30 and now I've read it a third time. I never tire of the humor it offers!I read it in two days. I do have to say, it does have a few swear words in it, but nothing horribly vulgar. I think J. Golden Kimball would have loved Bill Mauldin's dad!
