The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien

Tim O'Brien's book of short stories from his experiences in the Vietnam War, The Things They Carried, was the focus of the Pioneer Library System's Big Read last spring. Library patrons read the book, participated in discussions, and heard O'Brien himself discuss his work. O'Brien's remarks to an audience at the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History last April are broadcast in this program.

The Pioneer Library System 2012 Big Read project selected Amy Tan’s The Joy Luck Club. Events kick off on March 29 with a range of book discussions and an appearance by Amy Tan on April 27. Check out the web site for more information: http://bigreadok.com/.
