Ohhhh, my God I have to subscribe NOW.

Please put whatever you remember about that POS movie completely out of your head. The Dutch d-bag who directed that never even read the book, or so the story goes (he was telling the story). He had somebody tell him about it.

The movie is widely regarded as a parody of the book, and ultra-nationalistic militarism.

Johnny Rico looks nothing whatsoever like Casper Van Dien in the book. You'll find out why.

Cool, I'm excited to start it (and then watch the movie; sounds like there will be lots to say!)

A good excuse to finally read this one. Everything I've ever heard about it says it might be kind of a slog to read, though. Famously different from the movie.

Well I guess if this one's a slog also, next time I'll pick something very fun and light and breezy haha.
