Books that do not suck
Evan Wright: Generation Kill
One reporter's boots-on-the-ground level perspective of the invasion of Iraq, embedded with the Marine First Recon platoon. There are deliciously juicy parts involve the shocking incompetence of many officers, but there's plenty of more sober sections as the soldiers realize that their role as saviors of the Iraqi people isn't nearly as clear-cut as their leadership wanted everyone to believe. (****)Paul Neilan: Apathy and Other Small Victories
Wonderfully nihilistic, mean-spirited story of a man whose life is spiraling downwards rapidly. In a change from similar books, he's not a nice guy trapped in a situation he didn't create - he's a jackass who's almost completely responsible for the many, many horrible paths that his life takes. Very, very funny stuff here for those who can handle it. (*****)
