Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

My good friend Stan gave me this book on Mancation (a place where men go to drink themselves into submission and read) and it is nothing short of amazing. I didn't add it to Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ until I was a little more than half way through and was surprised to find a couple of bad reviews, I don't get that at all. Just so, so many good things about this book. It was published in 1998 but is so current in it's relevance that it could have been published yesterday. It feels incredibly real, the descriptions of the "oncoming storm" of battle, the "worst hospital in the world", it all just makes so much sense. The fact that Anderson is a seasoned war correspondent is wholly evident and that's not even the best part of the book. The psychological aspect of the novel is the payoff, and damn it delivers. You think you know all there is to know and then there is more. History, religion, politics, and their effect on the human psyche, just fucking amazing. This book is going to stick with me for a long time. So glad it came my way.
