I liked that one, very interesting take on an American life.

W.E.B. Griffen - The Corps (Book 1). I read the 2nd one on the deployment i just got off of and it read just like the Brotherhood of War series that i have read several times. if you like historical and military fiction, these are great books.

Not really currently reading anything because of schoolwork, but i have a few books lined up...
Steven Coonts - The Intruders
Steven Coonts - The Minotaur
Steven Coonts - Under Siege
David abd Leigh Eddings - The Redemption of Athalus

The last book I read for pleasure was...
Paul C. Goosen - Beasts of Iron

Paul is a very close friend of mine... and this book is incredible. It's a fusion of sci-fi and fantasy, so if you're a fan of either genre's you're bound to love it. It's based on earth... but not earth as we know it. I really, really suggest you take a look at this book...
Here's the website:

If you go to "The Book" you can download an excerpt from it - that is, the pro-prologue, the prologue, and the first few chapters. It's the first 80 pages of the book, and more than enough to wet your appetite...

William Poundstone: Prisoner's Dilemma

Wow. I just finished Prisoner's Dilemma today. It's an outstanding book, if not exactly what I originally expected.

It could be considered three stories in one. The core of it is about the development of the mathematical game the Prisoner's Dilemma, which is necessarily about the Cold War and nuclear weapons - fission and fusion. The second story, intertwined with the first, is a biography of John von Neumann. A final treatment is of other dilemma games, single and iterative.

To whet your appetite, consider this little "game".

You have a small cake to split between two children. How do you do it fairly? Assuming they're old enough, one child cuts the cake, and the other child chooses the first piece. -_^

At the moment I'm reading The "Dark Side of the Moon": The Making of the "Pink Floyd" Masterpiece - By John Harris.

I've just started it, they're one of my favorite bands of all time.

If it doesn't have to be a book, I'm reading a parts list for Club Car golf carts and a spec sheet for an E-Z-GO TXT golf cart. Oh, and Mac-Forums too. LOL

I just finished reading Animal Farm for shcool. It was a pretty short book, but realated to WWII and thats what we were doing in history.

I just Finishe "The Dante Club" by Mathew Pearl.

Amazing book, and very interesting. Highly Recommend it.

Now I a reading "Angelica" - by Arthur Philips

it looks like a twisted and very interesting book so far. The Author is great, I had read "The Egyptologist" by him before and it was just extremly amazing.

Just picked up this too:

The last actual book I read was Lord of the Flies a few years back when I was in highschool.. Now it's just Photoshop CS2 for Dummies.

It takes a lot for me to find books that are actually good, and keep me interested, so, I usually just read stuff on the Internet.

does any one have any suggestions for any books? I'm into things like "the truth behind religion" or "government scandals".. you know, things like that.

just got done reading "The Collector's" by David Baldacci, waiting on "Stone Cold" by the same author.

Capitalism and Freedom by Milton Friedman.

This is the second time I've dug this thread up I think.
