They both have that unapologetic, anti-glamorous way of approaching war.

I'll give it a few years and if it goes down to like $50, then maybe but right now, no dice.<br /><br />I will say it would be a definite convenience for traveling and I have heard it's easy on the eyes but right now, I'll stick to the originals! :)Donna (Bites)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12585421704517898076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-165146857489853420.post-89600807807718966002009-08-22T22:52:01.919-04:002009-08-22T22:52:01.919-04:00The Things They Carried was an awesome book.

I definately agree with a lot of your points, especially about the drinking (if you can take a bullet for you country, you should be allowed to have a drink), about people not being grown up at 18. So many excellent points. I definately want to read this book when it comes out.<br /><br />Also about e-books, have you thought about getting an e-reader? I feel like they are easy on the eyes. The big downside is that they are expensive, and don't have the wonderful new book smell, ha ha.Aprilhttp://readingisthespiceoflife.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
