We watched Forrest Gump recently and I got caught up in the IMDB trivia.  There was [one entry](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109830/trivia?item=tr1311738) that alluded to there being a sequel to the first book.  First book?  I never knew Forrest Gump was a book.  So I found it on Libby and read the first chapter before checking it out.  I'm not sure if I'll finish it (it's really different from the movie), but I was able to get through the first chapter pretty quickly.

I couldn't get through this.  It's just too weird after watching the movie.  It's like a bad fan-fiction of the movie.
