Then near certain you would like the original cut better. It's been so long since I saw that I can't recall all the alterations. I do know that Redux did include a to me unnecessary and even distracting scene of the boat crew interacting with some Playboy playmates in Viet Nam for a USO tour.

Yes, I know this is off-topic, but isn't it amazing how well Goodreads knows each and every one of us? Case in point: I just finished a re-read of Stranger in a Strange Land, and when I put in in my Goodreads list of books, they asked me, as they always do, whether I would like to recommend this book to a friend. Note carefully the reason they gave as to why Jon might like it.
Jon, it's almost like they're psychic! |

Well, unless today brings a sudden flurry of votes, it looks like Heart of Darkness is going to be our book. I'm saddened that we couldn't read Hiroshima on its 70th Anniversary, but I will read it regardless. And perhaps we can find our way to it for January's Second Chance vote.

I really feel bad for the September. The winning book is a book about genocide. We could have had other books that didn't have such violence but no, we had to have such. No thanks.

I've got this on my Kindle and the audio book on my phone. But life is intruding. I may not get it read by Tuesday.
