Human Guinea Pig

Timothy Ferriss uses his body as a laboratory for testing mental and physical experiments.  He has it down to a science -- and lots and lots of data points.

Nam-A-Rama

Nam-A-Rama by Phillip Jennings
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Hill Air E Us. I brought this book to the beach not realizing it was a satire. The sting of his humor is directed not at the War or the soldier, rather the establishment. The writing is similar to Catch-22 and the lampoons are both sharp and subtle. It was a little embarrassing to find myself sitting on the beach and laughing out loud to no one in particular.

The author was a marine in Vietnam, so he is quite detailed in the events and culture of the time. As a side note, I found out later that he also wrote a serious book on the entire history of the war in Vietnam. He appears to research the subject well and brought to light many ideas and insights I had never heard before.
