MASH

MASH by Richard Hooker is a great book.  It is one of my favorite books, and it’s hilarious.  There is both a movie and a TV series based off of it.  The book is about the lives of three fictional army doctors serving during the Korean War: Hawkeye Pierce, Duke Forrest, and Trapper John.  The characters in this book are combinations of people Hooker knew, met, worked with, or heard about.  The doctors in this story will do just about anything, and they can get away with just about everything.  They'll have a fake human sacrifice just so they can teach a man a lesson, they'll fake insanity just so they can spend a few days in Seoul, and they'll even organize a corrupt football game.  I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys watching the TV series M*A*S*H, and to anyone who likes to have a really good laugh.
