Weekend Posts

Hey all:

Glad to see that many of you have been responding to SHOOTING WAR over the weekend as well as the presidential debates (and if you read the graphic novel, you know the connection).

Again, one of the things that I want you to focus on when reading is not whether or not you agree with the politics of the book (although this is important) but the way that you read this novel. Did you take the substance of this book as seriously as JARHEAD? THE MERCY SEAT? Did you read the text or did you spend more time with the visuals? What about the sexual and gender politics of the book? Were they disturbing? Annoying?

I'm glad so many of you are getting into this book; I look forward to hearing what you have to say about it.

Take care!
