Coolest ending:

The coolest ending:

Dale Brown's Chain of Command, which includes a clinton clone
and the United States being taken for a ride by the NEW russian
president. The last Russian prez got blown up by a Ukranian
pilot firing a US supplied AGM-69 SRAM

Vonnegut rocks. Everything I've read of his is fabulous, but that book is definitely one of his best.
Vonnegut is certainly one of the best novelists. Slaughterhouse Five was by far his best book. BTW, I am one of the few people who does consider it to be superior to Catch-22 which I obviously like due to the avatar that I post around with.

Why? Because you know that America will always win no matter what odds are against them in the last 10 pages.
No, that's DALE BROWN

Clancy has only recently gone down that road. Brown fell screaming
into the pit YEARS AND YEARS ago...
Clancy is as guilty if not worse... He knew that crappy endings lead to the dark side...

And if anyone has EVER read Invasion by Eric L. Harry, will know exactly what I mean by in the last few pages America will always prevail.

That ending was horrible, it ended in less than 20 pages. That was the only reason I hated that book.

And LOTF was not better than Heart of Darkness. And another ending i liked was Fight Club. Yes there is a book.

There will never be a resolution in the evolution vs creationism debate because neither side can conclusively prove that they are right. The creationists can't prove that they're right becuase they're not, and the evolutionists can't prove that they're right because the creationists are too damn stupid to listen.
