imsuperman Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 I always appreciate those who went through that hell on earth, especially Okinawa with my family history there too. Make sure that bayonet, compass, and any other items you may have gotten (papers and photos can be the coolest things) are displayed. I went to a photo shop several years ago and had a picture of him in his dress blues in 1943 right before he left made into a full size photo. It's really cool. He's 18, but it looks just like him and he has a wiseguy smirk lol. I also have the little pouch for the compass. He put his name/initials on everything. The compass has "E Co. 22nd Reg. Okinawa" on the side as well. Reading this book really makes it so real for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imsuperman Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Finally arrived yesterday. So exited to have started this tonight. It's already bringing back so many memories from news stories, games, and press conferences when I was a kid. It's about the season of the Bulls' 90-91 season in which they won their first championship. It details how Jordan would always belittle his team mates and yell and curse at everyone, but how he ultimately learned that he needed to play to their strengths so they could win. image removed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happpybear Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Just finally finished the 5th Game of Thrones book, and now I am starting Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. It's pretty huge...it'll probably take me through the rest of the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsallgrand Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Les Mis always makes me cry. Loved the Game of Throne books - got me into the series. Those were perfect waiting around and need something to read, or relaxing before bed, books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liraele Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 How are you reading all these books? I just quit my last book, and i started another book which i start every time and never finish. Reading is one of my hobbies. Or an obsession. I guess either term would apply. I read when most people would be watching TV....or sleeping. Current book: Fiery Heart - Richelle Mead (almost done!)
