		philipkglass 31 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: What's happening to reading? Read this if you have time to kill: "Losing the War" by Lee Sandlin, about fading memories of World War II, originally published in 1997: https://www.leesandlin.com/articles/LosingTheWar.htm I re-read it every couple of years. It's a hazard to my time just pulling up the link again because it's so long yet compelling.

One of the best! If memory serves there was a This American Life segment excerpted from it too (https://www.thisamericanlife.org/195/transcript).
