Well I had just received the book back from a friend, I had it in my purse when I bumped into a co-worker in the lobby area of the building, on my way to lunch. Well when we bumped into each other my purse fell to the groung and the book came out of it. He picked up the book and purse and handed me the purse, he asked what the book was about. I told him it was about real stories that hed happened while the war in Iraq, he was interested in knowing more, and invited me to lunch. Well we went over to a small restaurant around the corner and I started telling him more about the book, we were really into the talk when we realize that lunch hour is almost over and we had to go back to work. I asked him if he wanted to borrow the book and he said "SURE" "I appreciate it a lot and I'll return it as soon as possible." I told him to take his time and read it all. Well I am a generous person in letting him borrow the book after all he paid lunch. view more & comment

Okay, so the patient's dad who's in the air force, who I mentioned in a prior bzz activity, got back to me after reading the book that I lent him. He said that it's such an awesome description of the real thing. He said that it is so well written. Just wait till I tell all my friends, that "I've confirmed this book with someone who was actually there!" Now that's really cool. view more & comment

I was with two friends and we was watching the news on NBC. They mentioned something about the war and I brought up "Generation Kill". I asked them if they have heard of the book. They said that they had not. I gave them a summary of the book and shared on of the stories. They both seemed very interested. One of them was going to go buy the book later that week, and the other asked if they could borrow my copy. I allowed them to borrow the copy. view more & comment

I took the book to work and had the book on my desk, when a coworker noticed it as he was walking by. He said he had a friend whos son was over there and picked up to book to glance at it. I told him it was written by a journalist who was actually there with the troops for a while. He thought the book would be a great book to read, a book where the person was actually there for a change! He wrote the title and author down and was going to get a copy for himself to read later on. view more & comment

On my birthday, a bunch of my friends took me out to dinner. At dinner, my friend Gered, who is a Marine, happened to be sitting next to me. I asked him if he had heard about Generation Kill. When he said no, I told him all about it and how the author told the story just like it is - not to the left or right. I told him that it doesn't matter what your take or opinion of the war is. He asked if he could borrow the book, and since I had already finished it, I said of course! Even his wife was interested and she wanted to read it as well. Several of the others were also listening in and asked about what we were talking about. Pretty soon everyone was listening about Generation Kill and several more people were interested in borrowing it. I told them that Gered and Marie had first dibs and if they couldn't wait that long then they could go out and buy it for themselves.

Just so you know I haven't been sitting on my kiester -
1 - I inquired about this book at Waldenbooks, Barnes & Nobles and the college bookstore.
2 - I loaned the book to three people. Kevin, my cousin Heidi's fiance, has it currently. Dwight and Elliot, both co-workers also read the book.
3 - I left the book on a table in the student center last week, I left it for a couple days.
Sorry I don't have time to file seperate bzzreports for each of these, but this week has been hectic.

Okay, I'm not sure just how valid this Bzz Report will be, because to be perfectly honest: I couldn't finish the book. I found it horribly written and as a literary editor, I read a lot of bad stuff on a daily basis.
I haven't gotten past page 34. I talk to my mom about Iraq all the time, and the two of us debate with my stepdad on a regular basis. I told her about the book and she expressed interest in reading it, but when two weeks passed and I had only gotten 5 pages further than I was previously, she said "If you can't even finish it, I don't want to read it."
She's referring to the fact that I taught myself how to read when I was very young, and I can read a book in a day or two usually. But not this one...
Now, I have discussions about the war and such with my friends all the time, and my boyfriend provides some interesting debates, being of a different political affiliation. So I don't know how much I really would have needed to Bzz about it anyway. Heck, I could leave the book out, and he may still end up reading it, bit I don't think he'd enjoy it either - he works as an editor with me.
I found the book to be dull and uninspiring. What I read was chock-full of cliches, and it says a lot that I couldn't even get halfway through it.
I almost didn't report this, but I figured, even bad Bzz is news, right? view more & comment

A friend of mine made a comment about how her niece has been notified that she will be activated for duty w/ the national guard. this is not a call up (yet), instead it is a warning that a call up will be coming shortly. Since it is likely that my friends niece will be going to Iraq, I mentioned that she should read Generation Kill. My Friend asked about the content of the book, and I explained that the book documentated what "really was happening" in iraq. My friend then asked if this book would make her feel better or worse about her niece being activated for duty. I said that this would probably make her feel worse - since the book documents the "reality" of Iraq. In the case of the First Recon, this reality was bad leaders, and poor planning.
My friend chose not to read the book, and did not want to suggest that her niece read it either. view more & comment

I noticed that the buzz campaign was drawing to a close, so I thought today should be the day to let you know about an excellent buzz oportunity. My playwriting professor (an avid reader and a Chicago Emmy winner) is the perfect target for Generation Kill, because it deals directly with something he's working on with one of his new plays! I sent him this email, this afternoon, and I think it's safe to say he's likely to buy it, knowing how his book purchases stack up quite quickly!
David,
I remember one day you were talking about a new play you were working on regarding the ongoing conflict over in the middle east, and that it dealt with the "real people" who were involved with that business. I also remember that you mentioned you were having difficulty finding people willing to talk about their experiences over there for various reasons. I thought perhaps I'd take a moment to reccommend a book that you might find to be a valuable resource.
It's called "Generation Kill" by Evan Wright. I'm sure you could find it in our Barnes and Noble locally, or if nothing else certainly on Amazon.com. It was written by this Evan fellow, a journalist for Rolling Stone, after he spent many months in the frontlines with the Marines eating what they eat, dodging combat related danger and experiencing life in the desert. I think perhaps the honesty with which the experience is presented will assist you putting together some of your notes for the play you're working on. Here's an excerpt from the book, see what you think:
>>>
It's another Iraqi town, nameless to the Marines racing down the main drag in Humvees, blowing it to pieces. We're flanked on both sides by a jumble of walled, two-story mud-brick buildings, with Iraqi gunmen concealed behind windows, on rooftops and in alleyways, shooting at us with machine guns, AK rifles and the odd rocket-propelled grenade (RPG). Though it's nearly five in the afternoon, a sandstorm has plunged the town into a hellish twilight of murky red dust. Winds howl at fifty miles per hour. The town stinks. Sewers, shattered from a Marine artillery bombardment that ceased moments before we entered, have overflowed, filling the streets with lagoons of human excrement. Flames and smoke pour out of holes blasted through walls of homes and apartment blocks by the Marines' heavy weapons. Bullets, bricks, chunks of buildings, pieces of blown-up light poles and shattered donkey carts splash into the flooded road ahead.
... ETC... ETC...
Anyway, I hope this is the kind of buzz that makes him go straight to the book. I have a feeling it will. :) view more & comment

Mentioned to a dear friend, Celia, that I had read this book. She is a voracious reader and commentator on books, non-fiction, historical, and just about anything else she can get her hands on. We met for coffee at the local version of the national behemouth and I brought along my copy of Generation Kill for her to borrow, read, and spread the word. She belongs to many online discussion groups and buzzes her faves and not so favorites (I'm thinking she'll like this one, however). She said she was looking forward to reading this book since I'd mentioned it many times to her. She was excited to read a first hand account of the invasion as the majority of the pieces she had read were limited to magazine or extended newspaper coverage. Her friend, Diane was with her and mentioned that she had an old boyfriend in the Marines serving in Afghanistan. I told her I thought she'd really enjoy reading about the personalities and comraderie that exists in a military unit as she never really understood the bond that these guys have for one another. I told her the story about the confusion on the first days of the assault and how the First Recon team didn't always know what the plan was but that they were up for anything as long as it was together. By the end of the discussion she made Celia promise to let her borrow the book when she was done. Mission accomplished. view more & comment

I was at my local Curves gym and we were all chatting, as we usually do. I asked everyone there (about 6 women) what they were reading. A few women answered and then I said "I'm reading this book right now called Generation Kill." Someone said, "Kill?" I continued, "Yes, a journalist went over to Iraq and rode around with the Marine's special forces. He got to see everything first hand. It's crazy all the stuff that goes on over there." Someone asked if it was good. I replied, "So far, I'm just over 1/2 way through. I'm going to bring it in to the library when I'm done with it." (Curves has a voluntary library - you can leave or take books whenever you want). Another women then started talking about the latest book that she was reading. No one else mentioned my book. view more & comment

I'm reading "Generation Kill" for my senior project, so it's pretty easy to talk about it, because everyone asks each other what they are doing for their project. But today I had two very important bzzes. First, in my public speaking class, we are doing a tv spot and radio spot on the same story and twerking it to sound/look appropriate. So for mine, my teacher was like "you should do the book" so I started planning it, and throwing ideas around about how I could tell people the different Marines' stories with different voices. So even though the campaign will be over, I will still be bzzing with my final project!
My second bzz occurred in calculus when me and my friend Lauren were talking about how she got in a fight with her boyfriend about the war and how insensitive he was about the soldiers there and their families back home. She really liked how I could draw on stories from the book, and so she asked to read through it for the day. When she gave it back to me at the end of the day, she decided to read it after I'm done with it at the end of my project. I only have a couple chapters left, so soon I'll be done and she'll have the pleasure of reading it! view more & comment

I was on a flight from Dallas to LA and one of my seatmates was reading the newspaper and commenting on the latest news from Iraq and how the Marines seemed to be taking the brunt of the casualties of late. I interrupted and mentioned that I had read this book, Generation Kill, that detailed one Marine company's role in the invasion. He said he was a former Marine and asked more about the book. I said it detailed the exploits of First Recon Battalion as "the tip of the point of the spear" and offers a first hand account by one of the imbedded reporters. The gentleman and his buddy asked where I had heard of the book and said I had been buzzed on it, and that it had been shared as series of articles in Rolling Stone. My seatmate, Tom, and his buddy Rich (also a former Marine) said they were going to check out the airport bookstore in LA to pick up a few copies as they were headed to Hawaii and had some time to kill (so to speak) on their flight. view more & comment

I belong to a discussion group and there was a thread started today about what everyone was currently reading. Here is my post:
- Right now I'm reading "Generation Kill" by Evan Wright. He's a journalist that wrote for Rolling Stone magazine and he went to Iraq and tagged along with the Marines special forces. They were the first ones to go through Iraq. It gets pretty personal with the soldiers. It's a good read, but very sad. I'm about 1/2 way through. -

Well, since I told her that I wanted to read it a little more before we left, she went up on the internet and looked up the description on Bzzagent. She thought it sounded very interesting too because she was learning about the war in Iraq in her AP English class. When she came back down she asked me to borrow it.

Now, I am not trying to be mean when I call my coworker "Pig". That is his nickname, and what he introduces himself as. He's a driver for Werner, just as I am, and he's really into reading. On occasion we have passed on books to one another that we have read. To get a mental picture of 'Pig', I shall describe him. He is 6'4", always wears camoflage(sp?) pants and army green tshirts. His hair is cut in a crew cut, and he has an earing of a pig in one ear. He's cool.
Mostly the books we pass on to one another are either science fiction, fantasy, or war. One of our favorite series is William Johnstones' "out of the Ashes" series.
While we were sitting at the truckstop in Senatobia, MS- him for his appointmnet delivery, and me for my hours to catch back up with me, we got to talking once again about books.
"Oh, That reminds me," says I. "I've got a book you might like to read."
"What's it about?" He asked. "The war in Iraq." I told him."I'll try it,"He said.
I went to my truck and retrienved the book, but before handing it to him I said," I'm going to need this book back when you're finished."
"No problem," he said, and took the book. When he's done reading it and we meet again, we will most likely discuss it, because that's what we do, we talk books.
I'll let you know his opinion. view more & comment

A definate winner...Took the book yesterday to Borders bookstore in Fredericksburg, where I am on business. I sat down in the cafe and began reading...took almost no time at all before the questions started (I don't know if this is because of the cover, or the proximity to the Quantico Marine Base)...anyway I got a lot of genuine interest in the title and talked it up quite a bit, inserting my own anecdotes of war (I was there with the Army at the same time as 1st Recon) and the 10 or so people I talked to seemed genuinely interested...The books engrossing enough that even for non-military types, I think it would be an easy sell...Borders also stocks it (which I thought to look at on the way out)...makes me wonder if they sold any copies of it yesterday. view more & comment

They all know about my prior military service and asked me what I thought. I said that it didn't always paint a positive picture of the soldiers, but during a war it would be kind of hard to do so. A war brings out some very negative traits in your character. They all expressed an interest in the book and plan on picking it up. view more & comment

My friend, Craig, and I were sitting in my apartment watching the Bulls/Wizards basketball game, and during a period towards the end when the Bulls were leading by 10 points and a victory seemed certain (which clearly wasn't the case), Craig turned his attention away from the game and picked up the book, Generation Kill, that I had sitting on my coffee table. "What's this about?" he asked. So, seeing an opportunity to bzz, I explained how it's a real life account of a journalist who spent time with some of the first soldiers to enter Iraq, and about those experiences. I mentioned one particular experience, where Evan Wright, the author, in one of his first gas attacks, forgot to spit out his chew and ended up swallowing it. I went on to explain how it's about kids from our generation (of tv, video games, and the internet) fighting a war, and it's just so real. Craig seemed genuinely interested in the book. He particularly enjoyed the pictures provided, and found it sad that some of the men in those pictures would end up dead before the book was done. I lent him the book to read. view more & comment

My boss recently commented about how she is a book freak and how she is totally out of stuff to read. Since I am a crappy BzzAgent and had not read this book yet I told her I that I had a really exciting book by a Rolling Stone journalist about the War in Iraq.
She was tickled to death that I let her borrow it. We'll see very soon how she liked it. view more & comment

I got this book back from my friend Mary Anne, so I sent it off to another friend who is currently enlisted in the war. He's a bit older, late 30s, I mailed it out to him. He should be getting it shortly. I expalined all about how I got the book, what I felt about the book, and how I wanted his review. He said he would read it ASAP and get it back to me when he could. view more & comment
