that thing I keep seeing
What I'm reading Wednesday, or something like that. I might as well hop in for once.
Finally found a copy of Twelve O'Clock High! for less than $30. (Stupid out-of-print prices.) It's quite short, and not as sanitized as the movie. (I'm at the point where General Savage has just told his air and ground execs to take a stressed-out young pilot to London and get him laid. Okay, maybe he didn't use those exact words, but they were all dining with the chaplain at the time, so. *grin*) I'm even more glad that the movie did away with the love interest. Her introduction is shoehorned in at the beginning before she disappears for half the book -- that's how slapped-on that subplot feels.
One day I will finish The Making of the Atomic Bomb, but I may require a refresher course in physics first.
