Dune was pretty good, although it read a bit like manga to me

All right, if you missed the armor of Starshippy Doom while watching the Starship Troopers movie, go read Armor.

You mean the powered armor suits in the book Starship Troopers? Cause that armor was cooler than anything in the stupid movie.

I'm joining the army tomorrow, so I am now reading Catch 22.

Ahar, my favorite book. Good choice.

Catch 22 never fails to improve my frame of mind.

Naked_Lunch · Post by **Naked_Lunch** » Sat Sep 10, 2005 8:42 pm

The movie isn't half-bad, either. Of course, it skips over a bunch of the plot-arcs, but does a pretty decent job of capturing the essence of the book.

Yeah, it's compulsory.

I'll bring you people pictures of all the babies I killed and stuff, it would be grand.
Well no, not really, I'm just going to be doing something with computers or some such thing.

If we had compulsory military service, I would be dishonourably discharged within a week. Political correctness and such.

Your opinion of books must be horrible because I've read atleast half of those books and I wouldn't call them the best of anything. Recycled toliet paper for the whole lot.
