The best Vietnam books not related to the american experience in the war: Children of the Neon Bamboo, The Sympathizer, Good Scent from a Strange Mountain, and Catfish and Mandala.

All excellent books, regardless of genre!

I mean, c'mon.... not music
I guess I was in a unique situation since I owner the publisher myself and wanted to start a store front. Complicating matters is that I produced a film and sold it on amazon. So they made me stake out an area legally on their site which costs 2k in lawyer fees.
If you want to start a store, be ready to pay around 2k for filing and legal fees.
I think you'd find some comfort and companionship with Children of the Neon Bamboo
Satisfaction probably or this:

As I Lay Dying, Cane by Jean Toomer, and--although it doesn't seem like it on the surface-- Children of the Neon Bamboo.

Funny you mention Gravity's rainbow. I was gifted a copy, and I'm dreading starting it. I want to read some Pynchon, but I need something more accessible. Maybe the "lot" one?
I liked the Dogs of War

I'll check that out. Alazando comes off as a goober. I hope we didn't hire him to do our serious intelligence work.

375 pages in. Some of it is a real slog. There are moments that are so clever that they keep me reading, but often times I resent the book. His energy for words is amazing, but dang it could be a perfect book if he just used the best 300 pages.
