Had never heard of Studs Turkel before, which is surprising considering he has possibly the greatest name ever. Now it's more obvious that <u>The Good War</u> was the main inspiration, as opposed to <u>We Wish To Inform You</u>.

Even leaving at 4:45am, I'm in the car for a good two hours a day. Finally catching back up in the Dark Tower series, thanks to it. I’ve got a similar commute.

Oh, hell yeah, I'm grabbing that. (Two hours in the car a day means I can "read" like nobody's business.) There’s already an audio version? Oh, hell yeah, I’m grabbing that.

Great stuff. My favorites were Alan Alda and John Turturro. Unless Hammill did the voice of the soldier at Yonkers (which I think he may have done), I must have missed the audio portion his part.

Same thing happened to me, actually. I was excited to read the book, then I forgot about it and missed its release entirely. Didn't even realize it was out until I saw a friend's copy laying out and he practically shoved it in my hands when I told him I hadn't read it yet. Not a problem.
