Even if she ends up dumping you like a moldy loaf of bread, like mine did me, you never forget your first love.<br /><br />And likewise, I'll never forget my first grown-up novel.

I had picked up a paperback of Seven Days in May at my Uncle's suggestion (he said they were working on a movie based on the book). I'm was a slow reader then as I am now, so I spent the whole week on the beach johnthebasketnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8811987615829975890.post-50519712916147496722022-12-12T15:50:27.039-08:002022-12-12T15:50:27.039-08:00I won't argue.

But he played a cocky, asshole, full-of-himself Trump-like general. I'm not talking about the shell of a Trump that's slouching through the Florida swamps as we speak, but the Man Who Would Be President: He aimed for Washington and landed short in Alabama.
