Unhappy

Johnny Got His Gun (can't remember who wrote it), such a good book but INCREDIBLY disturbing. It's about this guy who gets f'ed by a grenade in I think WWII and ends up surviving, but w/ no arms or legs, and he can't talk, see, or hear either. He breaths through a tube so he can't even kill himself. It basically tells about how he slowly goes insane inside his mind and how he eventually learns to communicate by morse code. This book was the inspiration for Metallica's song "One," a great song.

This book really depressed me, anyone who is serious about wanting to go to war and throwing their life away should read this book first. Wars should be fought w/ bombs and robots, not people
