I can recommend ...

I was going to read All Quiet on the Western Front but the book I ordered ended up being an examination of the film instead of the book so I was too po'ed to continue. I will try the library for a copy. Glad you liked Alice Munro. She is a phenomenon wrt to short stories.

I think that's All Quiet on the Western Front, although my translation has it as "We are at rest five miles behind the front." If I'm right, the next line is: "It wasn't a very likely place for disappearances, at least at first glance."
