It was filled with interesting insights into the modern military, especially its officers, and I found it fascinating.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-54743148913703966552009-02-27T07:56:00.000-06:002009-02-27T07:56:00.000-06:00It's always sad when an author who has connected w...It's always sad when an author who has connected with you dies.

I fear that their reality will not hold up to where I am today. There's always a possibility that I'm such a different person today than I was when I discovered the book that they will not impact me in the same way they first did.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-88896576443249313342009-02-26T18:04:00.000-06:002009-02-26T18:04:00.000-06:00You can count me in as a fan of the Riverworld boo...You can count me in as a fan of the Riverworld books, too. I remember back in high school one regular subject of debate among my admittedly nerdy friends was whether or not Farmer wrote the Kilgore Trout novel Venus on the Half Shell.<BR/><BR/>Wish I still had a copy of that.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06906212382849291562noreply@blogger.com
