I do read, not as much as I used to but I still do read.

Mostly reading stuff about politics and Crowley's work.

The way the U.S. was formed is very strange, we are lucky to still be a country.

Any spelling or grammatical errors I make is mostly because this phone is a bitch to use.

I've been sort of working hard on job hunt lately, working on getting my laptop up so I could sell my beats, I know damn well I can make money off them but, shit is complicated...

Also a good read...in the same vein....admitadly I did find out about it through this movie which everyone should see

Awesome! So there's a book for generals and soldiers in this thread now. Ghost Dog is amazing and I still remember quotes from that book but haven't read the whole thing, start to finish. It will be my next amazon purchase, for sure.

Maybe you've already read this but if not check it out.

The Art of War is more than just about "War". It applies to many things in our lives and might even help you get a decent job with some of the knowledge in there. Seriously, it's mandatory reading for NFL coaches and all sorts of professional businessmen for a reason. Good luck on the hunt.

the art of war does have quite a bit of applicability to everyday life.

for a more pointed [and modern] treatise on actual warfare, i recommend clausewitz, 'on war'.

awfully paranoid, arent you?

i read a lot art of war is a great book and if you pick that 1 up you should also get 48 laws of power. you can get both for free as phone apps. topics for books religion its good to know anything regarding history books on social psychology. really anything you can read that can open your mind and world. one thing you will learn from the art of war knowledge is power

Right now i'm reading ( here and there) one of my friends college books called "basic issues in bioethics". It deals with the ethical and moral questions mostly in the health field. Assisted suicide and euthanasia, abortion, whether or not a parent should be able to have a doctor put a newly born deformed baby out of its misery,genetic control/augmentation,whether or not society should implement reproductive control and whether they have the right things of that nature.

So far I have learned that bioethics are really fucking tricky and it's not as easy as black and white
