What a good writer caidid is! This is good...Clever! What a good writer caidid is! This is good:<br /><br /><em>It happened that I had just started reading On War when we had this conversation. This was the first time I had read Clausewitz through, front to back. I work three jobs, and don’t have nearly enough time to read, so I get most of my reading done on the train as I travel to and from and between works, meaning that I was carrying a 900+ page book in my bag for about two months, as I read closely, pausing frequently to re-read segments or to take notes. The weight of it on my shoulder made it more of a presence than the average book, and I began referring to it simply as Carl, as if it were a sentient being accompanying me on my commutes. (I was also inspired to get an e-reader). I like to think that Carl and I got pretty tight during this experience, and I hope that we will continue to get closer as we work together on this project (albeit through the much lighter-weight electronic version I purchased once I got that e-reader), but really Adam and Jason (as well as many, if not most, of the people with whom I interact on Twitter and whose blogs and such I read on a regular basis) are much more experienced scholars of Clausewitz and of strategy than I am.</em><br /><br />I am always impressed at the vast amounts of talent I find in wide ranging corners of the internet.<br /><br />So, this post goes into the set of links I've collected on graphic fiction and serious topics: a NYT article on a Marie Curie graphic novel, one on the Soviet Gulags taken from drawings of a survivor, a graphic novel on North Korea, and there is a recent graphic novel about medics (?) linked at SWJ.<br /><br />This is going to be a new post at ChicagoBoyz as soon as I get around to it.<br /><br />I still refuse to Twitter although I get the sense that I am being left behind in the online FP world! Twitter makes me feel like a stalker.<br /><br />Tweet: Just had lunch!<br />Tweet: What do you think about the protests in Egypt!<br />Tweet: Just going to dinner with friends!<br /><br />I dunno. I don't get it. I usually love all online gadgetry and tools. Perhaps I will have to stick to the Twitfic. I like the art and fiction part of it.<br /><br />At any rate, Gulliver, won't you please submit something to zenpundit's call for a post on the 100th birthday of Ronald Reagan? It doesn't have to be much more than a quick anecdote about your time in Poland. <br /><br />Karaka pend (where is she!) posted in our Afghanistan 2050 roundtable a while back.<br /><br />Please do. It would be so awesome if you did. You write well.Madhunoreply@blogger.com
