But that's exactly what happened. Our teacher made us write a paper to defend whether the book is a good piece of literature or not, and it made me think through the story and how it's presented, and in the end i realized we read the book for novel writing class because of how effortlessly leif enger ties in the poem with the story, and how subtle yet provoking the story is. so, in short, i agree with you that this book is a must-read. thanks for blogging about it -- the book deserves to be chatted up :) i read pace like a river in my novel writing class, and loved it. it’s not the kind of book i would pick up on my own, and i did not expect to finish the book and regret it because there wasn’t anymore to read.

Because I love it. And you might not believe me, but just today I picked up one copy, paged through it, read some parts and thought, Hmmmm, maybe I should read this again. Now. I also have "So Brave, Young & Handsome" on my shelf and thought maybe I should read that next. But probably I'll just reread "Peace Like a River". I need to read something really really really good right now. Not only have I read it, I own two copies of it so I can loan it out. Because I love it.

I also have “So Brave, Young & Handsome” on my shelf and thought maybe I should read that next. But probably I’ll just reread “Peace Like a River”. I need to read something really really really good right now.

LOVE that one. Someone may have already said this, but "So Brave, Young & Handsome" is good stuff, too. Very different, but good. Yes yes yes. LOVE that one.

It was amazing. Now I can't remember all the story but I do remember the effect it had on me and every time I see the cover I am brought back to those emotions. Words can't express it but my heart takes a big sigh and lets go. I read it! It was amazing.
