  • [Caller] Hey Rob, Jeff calling from Northern Virginia.

  • You've recommended other fantastic books.

  • Would really like to know, what else you recommend?

  • Or can you come out with a list on your show

  • of Rob Lowe must reads or your top 20?

  • I really look forward to that.

  • And again, just, I cannot tell you what an experience I had

  • with "The Moon's a Balloon."

  • Thank you so much for everything.

  • Well, Jeff from Northern Virginia,

  • by the way, I love that you're from Northern Virginia.

  • It's like you're in a civil war battalion, I love that.

  • I'm from Northern Virginia.

  • That's great.

  • Thank you. I'm glad you liked "The Moon's a Balloon."

  • It was my inspiration for writing my two books.

  • So the Northern Virginia Civil War thing

  • made me think of one of my favorite books,

  • which is called "The Killer Angels."

  • And it is a book I believe it won the Pulitzer Prize

  • and it is sort of the definitive account

  • of the Battle of Gettysburg.

  • And you don't have to be a historian

  • or a Civil War buff to read it, nor should you be.

  • It's just the most beautifully written, emotional,

  • very short books I've ever read.

  • So that's "The Killer Angels."

  • Another one I am loving is,

  • I believe it's called "Under the Comanche Moon."

  • And I just heard that Paul Thomas Anderson,

  • one of my favorite directors

  • has been secretly working on the movie adaptation

  • of "Under a Comanche Moon."

  • So that is gonna be one of the great movies of all time.

  • And there you have it. Thanks.

  • I love that.

  • I need to do like an Oprah's book

  • like recommendation thing.

  • Oprah, I'm coming for ya!

  • This is just the first version of it.

  • Look out, there's more to come.

[Caller] Hey Rob, Jeff calling from Northern Virginia.
