About 15 pages left of actual Pema writings, appendixes follow. GREAT!!!

Snake is in the theater with the all-male review. Instead of singing, "New York, New York" like in the movie, the book has them singing "Happy Days Are Here Again." A lot of differences. Snake takes meth to help counter the effects of the chemical weapon effects. NOT cool to have Kurt Russell running around in the movie using meth.

Awake Buddha. Happy Buddha. Excited Buddha.

Snake has just accepted the plan to rescue the prez.

I came across this rulebook quite by accident. The notion I can solo a crew across the galaxy using minis I already own is key for me.

Just now at the part where Hauk is handed something in a bloodied rag from Romero, the sharp-toothed crazy . . . The President's finger with the Presidential Seal ring still adorned . . .

Very interesting backstory leading up to the first few scenes in the film. Snake was just offloaded from the truck, Hauk landing in a helicopter at Liberty Base. Dude! Now I wanna watch the film!

If I've ever been the "Bengali Tea" chap in your life, my apologies!

The actual "narrative" begins here, following a timeline and "Introduction" regarding the persona of Frederick Douglass, written from the period, as a freed slave while on an abolitionist speaking circuit, his impact, his presence.

Background on Snake, his need of an eyepatch, why New York City became a maximum security penitentiary explained.

Discovering these writings of Master Pema have been like finding Master Yoda in real life.

Wonderful wisdom found within!

"The pigs were in ecstasies over Napoleon's cunning."

Okay, okay. I was WRONG. This is actually fun to read while I work through the other books I'm reading. I'm digging the Snake Plissken we're being introduced to, and would've loved seeing what I've read so far in the actual movie! (The book is based upon the screenplay)

Is it me, or does Comrade Napoleon resemble a certain Senatorial Turtle in his words and deeds?

Four legs good, two legs bad! Wait? Where's the milk disappearing to, and just WHY do the pigs get ALL of the apples to themselves? Oh. Waitaminute. I think a political statement is being made.

Master Pema is up to her usual ploy: hitting me right where I need it most!
