Just finished "The Goat Hunter", a funny autobiography of a ex NZ Gunnery Officer in Vietnam in 1970. He has a sense of humor, Maybe Fox should read it, to enlighten himself to anothers perspective of soldiers.
And "Coups and Cocaine", basically a travel story of an english doctor in South America in the mid eighties. An interesting read, due to his perspective of the countries he visited.
I thought the Goat Hunter was a funny read and you shouldn't take everything he says seriously, but it was interesting. If you find it, maybe have a read of it, if you a historian with an interest in the Vietnam War as I am. |

My friend Leonard James Frey
"Be not bold, be f-ing BOLD. Every time you meet someone, make a f-ing impression. Make them think you're the hottest shit in the world. Make them think they're gonna lose their job if they don't give you one. Look 'em in the eye, and never look away. Be confident and calm, be f-ing bold."
Very good read. A guy going through rehab and turning his life around. |

Cities of Glass was great.
Rest of Auster - 'A guy or couple of guys having problems with wifes or not satisfied with life in genral and their lives intercept through some conceited chance. They learn about suffering.' |

I quite like Auster though. Something about his writing really gets me thinking. |

God Hates Us All by Hank Moody.... totally great read about angst and self-loathing. Very easy to relate to.
I'm also reading:
Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith. It's funny. I love how they took a classic story and gave it the modern zing. |
