I need to get around to starting it. Bought it and haven't touched it yet.

Check out George R. R. Martin's Game of Thrones and the books onward. I don't think that series has a name. They're VERY good.

So spouts a roommate of mine every so often, those books are actually sitting right behind me. But first I must finish my ever slow process of going through Assassin's Apprentice.

The Art of War: The Denma Translation
by Sun Tzu

Gods Debris
By Scott Adams

I'm reading The Art of War because I generally suck at any kind of conflict. The book is actually helping a bit. It's weird how a book on war can touch all aspects of ones life. Great read.

Gods Debris is a fantastic book. I recomend all to read it. I've read it a few times now, and im going again. It's kind of about how all the scientist preach, and all the crazy people preach, and how if you really listen to it, it all starts to sound the same. Scott Adams calls it a "Thought Experiment".

I think Im gonna get "The Elephant Vanishes and Other Stories" by Hirameki Murakami(sp?). I love his stuff.

Z-roe

I have always wanted to read "The Art of War"... I had a copy at one point, but I have no idea what happened to it. Strange...




I went to a book fair today and I got a cheap book called "Viking Age Iceland", even though I am already an expert on the subject. :)

That's Haruki. The Elephant Vanishes, Sputnik Sweetheart, and Underground are my favorites of his.

I read the Biz Markie/football player thing just now with the Buena Vista guy as your avatar and was confused as hell.
Rich- "I look at that guy and imagine him playing football" :lol:

John Jakes Civil War Trilogy (North and South, Love and War, Heaven and Hell) has been eating up all of my time lately. Like 3000 pages all told.

I just got the new Anne Rice, Blackwood Farm. Kinda wanna get into that but I have this thing about finishing a book before starting a new one. Last thing I need is to try to remember what Orry and the guys are doing and see Lestat show up on Mont Royale.
