Very much of its time, so - you know, racism, sexism, etc., but all that aside, still a comedy gem! Madcap from top to tail, MASH is definitely a must read for fans of the TV show, and fans of funny in general!

Since I loved the TV show, I figured I should give the #booktomovie a try finally. #summerfun @4thhouseontheleft @StayCurious #page2screen
Thanks for paying it forward with the #Endowarrior21Giveaway. One of my all-time favorite books is the one I‘ve tagged. Loved the book, didn‘t care for the movie, and the TV series will always hold a special place in my heart. I‘ve read it multiple times, just as I‘ve watched the TV show multiple times.
This is one of my all-time favorite books (hence my screen name). Alan Alda portrayed Pierce so well in the tv show that his voice is all I hear through the entire novel. I‘m rereading this in those moments that I need a little levity with some perspective thrown in.
More flying, more reading! 👏🏻 Although I do need to sleep a bit too. 😴 This looks like a short read so hopefully I can do both.
I didn't like this book at first. I am a huge fan of the tv series and it had some major differences. I did eventually come around as the stories matured. (He could have used a better editor however.) It was also a bit inconsistent in the way he saw and portrayed the Korean people, switching to sometimes calling them gooks and chinks for instance. Overall it was ok but I won't likely read any more by this author. The tv show has more heart.
My new paperwhite arrived. Now she just needs a name. Am I the only one who names them? So far I like it quite a lot. The new screensavers are very beautiful.
I grew up watching the TV series, MASH, so I wanted to find out where it all began. It does have characters with the same names. I loved this book. I strongly recommend it for anyone who loves to read. I read it first in elementary school, at an age where no one should read this book, and at least a couple of times since then. I recently added it to my Audible collection and now it's time for a re-read.
Hmm, this is a tough one to abandon. I got about halfway through and just can't get motivated to pic, it up again. I love seeing the source material and comparisons to the movie and show (the movie is much closer to the book than the tv series). It's pretty dark and not nearly as humorous as I expected. Unfortunately I really didn't like writing and that ultimately led to my lack of interest in finishing.
A little inspired drinking from my favorite doctors. We watched the movie tonight (but, of course, I had to read the book first). 😉
I needed a little something this week. I have the ebook of I Hate Fairyland but decided I wanted the paper copy. Plus I neeeeeeeed the sequel.
M.A.S.H is fantastic beyond my imagination. And from what I remember of the movie it's very true to form. The narrator has won several awards and I haven't been bored to death while driving, so that speaks volumes.
