A: I just finished reading a book of short story by Hemlen Garlen called May Traveled Road. I really enjoy it. Have u ever read it?
B: yes, it was a required reading in American literature course i took last year, even though it's fiction, you get a realistic picture of the hard life people had on American frontier. I don't think I would survive 19 century frontier life
