This will be my new unrelated to anything else final post.
What kind of book did i read? I read books that had adventure, danger, fear, overcoming, anger, sadness, confussion, hope, a sense of place. The books that i read are ones that i as a human being i can relate to. Ecotopia gave me most of these in one package. the turner diaries blue off steam. Red Badge of courag was a adventure, these book kept me turning pages and wanted to read it and "pick it all up" as fast as i could. I hoped you enjoyed reading me blog.
Goodbye.
sincerly

The turner diaries by andrew macdonald (Dr. William Pierce)
A hate novel that has inspired many white supremises groups, I was a little curious to see what all the fuss was about. The story is about a man named earl turner who apart of something called the organization turner keep a diary of his explots and of his thoughts. It follows him from when he goes underground in the early 1990's to when he kills himself in a nuclear blast of the pentagon and it covers everything inbetween from taking over southern california to bombings all over the country as he is a techincal expert. when the straight up neo nazi propaganda isn't being used and if you can get past it, its not that bad of a read although it is kind of outdated. Turner goes from fear of being caught, the "hope" that he sees in california, to peace that he makes before his final mission. I would only recomend it to a strong reader who could deal with conterversal material.

The things they carried by tim o'brian
A semi auto biography by vietnam war vet time o'brian, the story follows a fictional version of himself and mad up commerads through part of the war. Set when the men fough but used drugs, drank, and looked very vietnam warish. Terror at the thought of dying is obiously expersed, but the first few pages are basically list of stuff they carried along to live and then what they took because they couldn't live without it. Its different from red badge of courage as this is about mainly blue collar kids who want to get out alive and nothing more. Combat stories are lacking ass kicking and are more prone to be quick terrifing flashes.

Red Badge of Courage by Stephen Crain
A war noevel written in the mid 1890's was claimed by civil war vets to be so authentic that they claimed that Crain must have been there which of course he hadn't as he had been born after the war ended. The story tells of a young union soldier going in untest into the battle of chanslervill. Fear stricks in a figh and he runs away then feeling shame after trying to convince himself with what he did was okay. As he wanders the battle field he is enraged when he sees another retreat he knocked unconious, when he wakes he returns to his unit and the next goes on a rampage firing at the enemy and taking the flag and charging them (a dangerious act to do). Crain highlests the emotions, horror, and glory of the american civil war and wrote a novel that would enspire another generation to fight the spanish.

The higest tide is a coming of age story, a young boy grows up very, very fast. This starts because of his late night adventures in the tidal flats of puget sound. Miles goes from a sort and a little angry red head kid to a marine bio super star in about 1 month, although extermly knowledgeable about ocean life he doesn't see the invasive species and thinks its werid stuff coming out of the sea. (another aspcet of boyhood, using the first thing that comes to your head, and its usaually not right). With his best or clostet thing to a best friend, a gressy, seattle grunge punk, his old babysitter who a total grunge stoner (he also has a crush on here, big suprise), a marine biooligist whos the doc brown type (of back to the future), and the old fortune teller peal, a good friend and just about the only point of sanity in his insaine world. He also has to deal with a mariner fanatic/obessed about his height dad, and his somewhat distant mother as well. Filled with the emotions of love, loss, anger, fright, confussion, worry, and confusion. I highly recomend this book (i may post some lines from this book). Oh and he also has to deal with fame and media attention and a cult which takes an interest in him.
