    What a guy, what a writer. Just gobbled up his memoir in less than a day--what a treat.

    I always enjoy this man story. I struggle with reading because I can never pay attention long enough so when I hear short stories I'm interested I read this boy's life and the great Barracks Thief by him now what I prefer is audiobooks so I don't have to read anything I just listen to somebody read it to me.

    I can really relate to this.... I'm in computer science atm and doing horribly. I was never good at math, yet I'm really good at writing...

      I'm a sophomore in high school, and throughout my whole school life I've had difficulties in math, but I'm extremely good at writing and reading and have won a few awards for my essays.

    I love Tobias Wolff, I used to live near where "Our Story Begins" is set. He recommends "So Long, See You Tomorrow" by William Maxwell. I recommend "Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War", by Karl Marlantes. It's the greatest book I've ever read.

      Dwight died in Concrete…I think in the 90’s (?)
      They mention it in the credits at the end of the movie.
