O&#8217;Brien is probably best known for his novel\/linked story collection <em>The Things They Carried<\/em>, which I&#8217;ve loved for a long time and wrote about in the early days of this blog (<a title=\"Mookse Review of The Things They Carried\" href=\"http:\/\/mookseandgripes.com\/reviews\/2008\/09\/11\/tim-obriens-the-things-they-carried\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>). These reissues have given me a good excuse to go back to O&#8217;Brien and see what else he&#8217;s been up to (I&#8217;ve been particularly interested in <em>Going After Cacciato<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m happy to say that Broadway Books sent me an extra copy of each, and I&#8217;m going to give away those four books to one person.<\/p>\n<p><img
