The series is available through Netflix and can be purchased from HBO for around $30.

However, I would read the book, first...

I am not good a putting quotes in the post just yet but I just wanted to add one thing. Alot of people abuse the 911 system and often call in the same thing 2 or 3 times a day. Whether an argument with a family member or a habitual runaway that is 15 years old, that is always comes back within 2 ho...

I was a paramedic for 25 years and owned a private ambulance service. I am now retired. "Charging" for emergency response is hardly new. Some volunteer organizations - fire, EMS - have charged for services for a long time. Generally, if a volunteer organization responds, they bill the pers...

Ford County by John Grisham was a surprising collection of short stories. After his first couple of 'lawyers in action' novels, I lost interest in his writing, (probably because I worked as a consultant to a lot of lawyers and they aren't ever in action). Ford County is a refreshing collection of s...

Heinlein is my favorite, but not because of the 'whiz bang' flying spaceship and death rays, (which mostly his books don't have), stuff. I enjoy them because of the social commentary they include. The stories are engaging, while pointing out some realities of the world, or how Heinlein would like th...

Without a doubt, Joe Pickett, the unlikely game warden/cop/investigator in C. J. Box's books. Box's writing appeals to a more regional crowd - the intermountain west - but his work is outstanding and largely unrecognized outside of this region. Box writes serious mystery/whodunit fiction, while, at ...

I read, mostly, in my recliner, in front of the TV. I, usually, start out multi-tasking, then turning off the TV when the book gets interesting. I read some on my iPod Touch, but the screen keeps getting smaller every day. I will, probably, buy an iPad when the second generation comes out. I hope it...

Hey MtGrizzley I am still kind of new myself, but welcome! Those ghost towns sound really interesting. Are there "public" ones for tourists only, or is there a chance of "discovering" one for yourself? I am also a fan of Heinlein, Methuselah's Children, The Moon is a Harsh Mistr...

Greetings to all - I am new here, this is my first post after my introduction. I would like to discuss Generation Kill with anyone who has read it. If you haven't read it, excuse me if this review contains spoilers... It is hard to say that any book about a war is the 'seminal' work about a war, par...

Let's see - I live in Montana, in the Northern Rocky Mountains. I am a retired commercial paramedic. I read mostly historical non-fiction and trashy, escapist fiction. Larry Bond and Tom Clancy come right to mind for escapist fiction. My current favorite author is C.J. Box - the Joe Pickett series [...
