    I'll probably check it out. From what I've gathered, it's a pretty short book, so even if I hate it, what have I really lost?

    I was talking to you about Wool sometime last year, Amanda.

    Just realized that I never finished it, actually. I got about 3/4's of the way through and then I just stopped. Need to go back and finish it.

    Also listening to 1Q84 but am not sure now that I'm starting part two if I want to continue. Does anyone have an opinion on if I should keep going with it?

    And when I feel like something short I've been reading Holes For Faces by cambell, which has been pretty entertaining.
    I love the McCammon Matthew Corbett series. I think you'll enjoy the rest of them immensely!
    I wholy agree! I've read through Mister Slaughter and have loved them.

    That explains why it seemed familiar! I couldn't remember where I had read/heard about it.

    I had the same problem with 1Q84. I finished half of it and gave up on it. The story could've been amazing at 300 pages.

    reading: Tim Curran - Afterburn. Entertaining and straight forward. I ne3ded something light after Frank Herbert.

    American Sniper. I'm not usually into non-fiction, but the movie was amazing.

    Yep, the parts about him killing two carjackers and his shooting at looters after Katrina were proven to have never happened. He laid about it, straight up.

    Reading: Odd Apocalypse by Dean Koontz. Thirty pages in and so far, so good. (Yes, a golden retriever had already made an appearance.)

    He also lied about that whole punching Jesse Ventura in the face at a bar- thing. Guy has some pretty tall tales. Should change the name of the movie to American Big Fish.

    Finished Shift by Hugh Howey (2nd book of his Silo trilogy) and started on Nightmares and Dreamscapes by King. I'd listened to the audio tapes (wow) back in the mid-90s, but decided to read the book on my Paperwhite before diving into Dust (3rd book of the Silo trilogy).

    Thanks, I feel guilty not finishing a book, but that one is so long and moves at a snails pace. Though I do enjoy his writing, so I'll try one of his shorter novels next time.

    Anyways, reading Revival now, (which I'm liking) and listening to Doomed by Chuck P. (which is alright, a lot of repetitiveness, Rant was soooo good compared to this.)

    Just read Damned recently and wasn't really a fan. Maybe I'll get to Doomed sometime soon just to finish the story.

    Kyle's post-war accounts as far as I can tell contain so much bullshit that if he had blue eyes, they would turn brown. Not sure why you would conflate that with his war record, however, which is what the movie focuses on. Why would you rename the movie American Big Fish? I've never seen anything that indicates his service record has been fabricated.

    Glad to hear how much you're enjoying it, Amanda. It's a pretty fun read, isn't it?
