Name: Nat. Age: 24. Where: Australia. When did you become interested in war/Pacific/hot men: LOL. Okay, in WWII in general, I became interested around Dec '09 with INGLORIOUS BASTERDS. Then my husband said, 'if you were interested in that sort of thing, you should watch Band of Brothers. It's even more bromantic.' SURE, OK. And, I admit, I'm horrible with names and faces so the first viewing of BoB was just a massive info dump and blur of faces. A GLOURIOUS BLUR, BUT A BLUR NONETHELESS. The viewings following (many to be had), the hotness of the men made themselves more and more apparent.
BUT THIS IS ABOUT THE PACIFIC. ANYWAY, after BoB, I learned that The Pacific was coming out. Again, same problem with the info dump and the blur of faces (I'm really, terribly bad at names/faces whether onscreen or IRL) - BUT NOW, A YEAR LATER, I STILL BECOME GIDDY AND EXCITED WHEN EXPOSED TO RUNNER THE PACIFIC FOR TOO LONG 8|. Who's your favorite character and what are his best 'assets': RUNNER. OH GOD. When I first saw him, I only knew him as Old

HELL YEAH. I love that Runner has such a solid following. Understandable though 8). And he was! In Leckie's words:
That was the thing about Runner: those strong, phenomenally developed legs. He had been a sprint man in prep school-a good one, as I learned later-and the practice had left its mark in those bulging calves.

Definitely!! Runner, Chuckler and Hoosier are. It's basically about their bromance ♥ (of course, I say this not to take away how serious his experience was). I'm excited for you to get it :DDD
Awesome! There are so many great BoB books out. Anything by Marcus Brotherton is brilliant. As is Brothers in Battle, Best of Friends by Babe and Bill. BUT ANYTHING REALLY.
