Show Survey Shows Soldiers Read Better Literature FORT JACKSON, S. C A recent survey in the two libraries here reveals that soldiers of the army of 1941 like good literature. Topping the lists of favorite boCks read by the New York, New Jersey, Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, Missouri Mis-souri and Delaware soldiers is Jan Valtin's "Out of the Night," closely followed by Ernest Hemingway's "For Whom the Bell Tolls." This was in sharp contrast to the expected choice of literature by soldiers, sol-diers, formerly thought to be harrowing har-rowing tales of adventure in the Orient or Wild West yarns. |
