Originally posted by Remy:So, how about we do the first 13 chapters in the first week of September? (Tuesday 1-Tuesday 8). This is about 120 pages. I'll make a note-to-self to start reading it again. Has been a long while!
And let us then put our thoughts about it here in this topic

I particularly loved the story about storming Sellafield, reading how dangerous it really was, Bono wearing his regular boots, Larry yelling at the police out the window after they were picked up and on their way back.
Also, the story about meeting Bill Clinton at their hotel is just fantastic. Gave some great depth to go with the story I had only heard from U2 by U2 previously. Bono and Edge working on a song while drunk until early morning, Bono falling asleep on Edge's couch and then waking up still "elegantly wasted" to meet with Clinton...fantastic. Not to mention Adam taking his time with breakfast and a bath before he shows up!
) And it gives me plenty to think about as a believer myself.
