So I’m a pretty big admirer of The Wire — just got done watching its fourth season on DVD last night, and I have the fifth on pre-order already — and as such will more than likely be watching its creators’ adaptation of Evan Wright’s Generation Kill at some point as well.

I’ve been meaning to read Wright’s book for a while now, ever since a friend recommended it to me. Is it crazy for me to be a little baffled, though, that the book is seemingly out-of-print now, especially given that I’m seeing ads for the miniseries pretty much everywhere? I mean, I’m more than happy to go the Powell’s route, but that just seems…odd to me.
