Written when Conroy was newly graduated (1967) from The Citadel in 1970, it is a collection of letters, short stories, and anecdotes about Lt. Colonel Thomas "The Boo" Courvoisie.  As Commandant of Cadets at the Citadel, Courvoisie was a friend and father figure to many of the college's cadets, including Conroy.

Against Interpretation: Against Interpretation is a collection of essays by Susan Sontag published in 1966.  It includes some of Sontag's best-known works, including "On Style," and the eponymous essay "Against Interpretation."  In the last, Sontag argues that in the new approach to aesthetics the spiritual importance of art is being replaced by the emphasis on the intellect.  Rather than recognizing great creative works as possible sources of energy, she argues, contemporary critics were all too often taking art's transcendental power for granted, and focusing instead on their own intellectually constructed abstractions like "form" and "content."  In effect, she wrote, interpretation had become "the intellect's revenge upon art."  The essay famously finishes with the words, "in place of a hermeneutics we need an erotics of art".  The book was a finalist for the Arts and Letters category of the National Book Award

Regarding the Pain of Others: Regarding the Pain of Others is a 2003 book by Susan Sontag, which was nominated for the National Book Critics Circle Award.  It was her last published book before her death in 2004.

This long essay is especially interested in war photography.  Using photography to back up her points, Sontag sets out to answer one of the three questions posed in Virginia Woolf's book "Three Guineas", "How in your opinion are we to prevent war?"

He describes one memory when his mother tried to stab his father with a butcher knife and his father backhanded her and started laughing.  The book also deals with the team's experience of losing.  In his final season, his team finished with an 8–17 record.
