[Main Blog Post] [Books] Military Fiction

[jprussell]

In a comment on the last Ecosophia Post, I shared some recommendations for "military fiction," and the requester, Justin Patrick Moore, suggested it might make a good blog post. Well, what do you know, the second chapter of Seed of Yggdrasill turns out to be the length of a short book and my kids and work were a bit of a handful this week, so I expanded and edited the comment a bit and share with you now my thoughts.

As always, I'd love to hear any reactions, and for this one, I'd welcome any recommendations for stuff I missed that you've enjoyed.

Re: Walking Away from Doctorow

Fair enough, I was veering pretty far into off-topic territory over there anyhow!

I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one - Walkaway produced one of the biggest disparities in how excited I was to read it ahead of time versus how unhappy I was with it on reading it I've ever experienced. I think I read about 2/3, and I didn't even want to finish just to see how it ended. Ugh. Anyway, I haven't read Little Brother or Homeland, but I enjoy good YA books - they're pleasantly straightforward.

Glad to hear it! Hope you enjoy it and look forward to hearing your thoughts.
