Circus of the Absurd
Circus of the Absurd is a funny, earthy, entertaining slice of life in a war that never seems far from the public consciousness. This sometimes outrageous and often funny view of the Vietnam War is seen through the eyes of a low level enlisted soldier assigned to USARV headquarters in 1967-68. It's definitely NOT a typical "tip of the spear" combat focused book. The Viet Cong and North Vietnamese Army are minor players in this adrenaline fueled trip through insane incidents and free-wheeling sex, interspersed with brutality, rape, killing, corruption, and other travesties of war. The author lures you into a tantalizing netherworld of hedonistic pleasures and exciting adventures that could be mistaken for a young man's concept of heaven, then periodically punches you in the gut with disturbing and sometimes horrific incidents to remind you that you really are in hell. It's a road rarely traveled in most books on Vietnam but Circus of the Absurd is fascinating, darkly humorous, and packed with little details that may help fill in some of the blanks many people have about the conduct of that controversial war.

On Fire
At nine, O'Leary survived a house fire with burns on 100 percent of his body. Doctors didn't expect him to make it through the night. But he made it through five months of healing in the hospital, and years of excruciating rehabilitation as he struggled to regain mobility and control of his body. O'Leary says that it changed him for the better-- and that if he had it to do all over again, he wouldn't change a thing. Now he shares reflections on the seven life-giving choices he made that ensured his survival and his ability to ignite a radically inspired life. -- adapted from jacket
