So, in an effort to understand this new person who thinks in a way i have never tried to understand before (being complacent in my liberal Ivory Tower bubble), i am reading Jarhead - on Fiona's recommendation - which is written by an ex-Marine about what it's like to be a Marine. i picked it up this morning, and i'm most of the way through. it's very disturbing for this sheltered little girl to read (not because it's graphically violent - it's not, so far he's seen no combat), just because the thought processes are totally foreign but perfectly logical, in their own way. i think it's also offered some insight into why Noe reenlisted, which myself and his friends have been wondering about.
i'd say this book is worth reading. he's a vivid writer, and very accessible. thanks, Fifi.
