"My book will, I hope, allow the reality-based message on Iraq to reach even more people. Again, Still Broken tells the story of my time at DIA, both in Baghdad and at the Pentagon, and it's an easy read." - AJ Rosmiller
I'm still not finished with Legacy of Ashes, but I'm looking forward to this book ... I think I have a B&N gift card from Christmas that will do the trick.
ON MY WAY TO THE OBAMA INAUGURAL WITH MY HUBBY
I've passed over AS's posts on bookwriting and "blogging for power".
Bookwriting isn't for me. I'm too much of a fragmentist, I find the I-wrote-a-book-so-I'm-legitimate crowd rather self-referential, and I've understood that the economics of most book writing is rather poor.
As for power-blogging, I figure that AS is in it for the Inaugural invite or something. It was telling that he left his readers out of his reasons for blogging, sadly. Perhaps, without being an example (AS could never be faulted for not being one of the hardest working, if not the hardest working), it's indicative of how far the Right has been able to putrefy journalism all on its own? That's not a snark. It's just a casual observation - food for thought.
