I used to wonder if he, Arthur Miller and Saul Bellow would all make it to 90. He alone made it. Budd Schulberg is almost there. Sidney Sheldon and Mickey Spillane are still alive so I guess writing pulp makes you live longer.

I liked the first 500 pages of Marjorie Morningstar. It was the second 500 that got alittle tedious.

Michael Medved was talking about Herman Wouk's birthday earlier today. And rightfully praising him too. Happy 90th Mr Wouk and many more!

I've always enjoyed his fiction. His war stories are tremendous.
Happy Birthday, Mr. Wouk.

FYI - my mom told that when she was vacationing in the Virgin Islands, years ago, Herman Wouk participated in the Purim service at a local temple. Because Wouk was doing so, my parents went to the service.
Wouk wrote a FABULOUS book called Don't Stop The Carnival, about his experiences in the Virgin Islands. It's a must read. Hilarious.

My only beef with him (so far as I know) is that he promotes Theistic evolutionism in
This is My G-d. Oh well. Modernity infects everyone.
Happy birthday to Mr. Wouk!
PS: Is this his birthday on the civil or the Jewish calendar? Interesting if his birthday is La"G Ba`Omer.

"The Winds of War" and "War and Rememberance" are two of the most powerful novels ever written.
To: EveningStar
I am an avid reader. I read his trilogy "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" approximately 20 years ago and it is still probably the greatest, if not one of the greatest, books I have ever read. Everyone should read these books. While Winds lays the background, the real story comes into play in the two volumes of War and Remembrance. God Bless Mr. Wouk!
To: EveningStar
As someone who married across religious lines, and whose dad was a WWII vet, "War and Remembrance" made a big impression. Great stuff.

I recently reread the Caine Mutiny - one of my all-time Top Ten books. Happy birthday, Mr. Wouk.

Winds of War, War and Remembrance, I liked them both but Robert Mitchum romance scenes are not high on my list for viewing.

Winds of War, and War and Remembrance are two novels I read years ago, that stand out in my memory yet today.

The great Herman Wouk (pronounced "woke") is 90 today.....He is also an unapologetic religious Jew You know what they say: All Wouk and no pray makes Jack a dull goy.
