The Lords of Discipline by Pat Conroy is #bookfrommylibrary Conroy is one of my favorite authors and this book is my favorite. One of those books you can read several times. This book is a little autobiographical and Conroy shares some of what happened to him as a student at The Citadel (called Carolina Military Institute in the book) Hazing, brotherhood and a code of honor and growing as men. Conroy's descriptions of Charleston, SC are wonderful. If you've never been there you should go. If you've never read Conroy this is a good book to start. #thelordsofdiscipline #patconroy #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookshelf #books #booknerd #bookhoarder #bookworm #booklover #bookish #bookreview #bookclub #bookaddict #bookaholic #bookcover #bookhaul #bibliophile #igreads #goodreads #homelibrary #bradsbooks #bradslibrary

RIP Pat Conroy. The Water is Wide is my favorite Conroy book and the film did it nice justice. The themes in his books were never easy going fun "Southern" fare, I admire this so much. He left very intimate private moments on paper, laying bare family tensions, relationships between parents and children. He also had great advice for writers, much of it emphasizing using fiction to "work through the demons" AMEN. #patconroy #thegreatsantini #thelordsofdiscipline #thewateriswide #theprinceoftides #greatwriters #americanfiction
