I've read, re-read, and read that book again. In fact, my first copy was so beat up I bought a new one and made the old one my platoon's copy to be read by new privates. Excellent book.

BTW - Humblegunner has "This I believe" on his profile.

Thanks to both of you for the recommend. It's one of those crazy things. I like sci-fi and have always meant to read the book but have never gotten around to it somehow. I think I must make time now though after hearing so many good things about it and hearing it referenced so often ;-)
