A novel that chronicles the story of a platoon of soldiers who are fighting for the possession of the Japanese-held island of Anopopei during World War II. I chose this book because the University of Texas recently acquired Norman Mailer's archives and he is coming to the University of Texas at Austin . I'm hoping to have the chance to see his lecture.

Colby Buzzell is a truly great guy. Was so surprised that anyone would be interested in the blog he was doing in Iraq. He shouldn't have been. It was exceptional writing.
Love you list of books. They're all good.
