Bruce: The book is great, but you owe it to yourself to read Boys Together with the book that reformed (destroyed) the English Public Schools, just as Uncle Tom's Cabin contributed to the American War Between the States. That book is, of course, Tom Brown's Schooldays, free from here.

Saw the name “Bill McKibben” and suffered some sort of catatonic episode that blanked out the rest of the text.
