I'm planning to study up on game theory myself. Here's some lectures I found online that look like they may be helpful. Took a quick look at a couple, but plan on getting into them soon.

Read the Baroque Cycle by Neal Stephenson. Best books by far I've read in ages :thumbsup

Quote:

The Baroque Cycle is a series of novels by American writer Neal Stephenson. It was published in three volumes containing 8 books in 2003 and 2004. The story follows the adventures of a sizeable cast of characters living amidst some of the central events of the late 17th and early 18th centuries in Europe. Despite featuring a literary treatment consistent with historical fiction, Stephenson has characterized the work as science fiction, due to the presence of some anomalous occurrences and the work's particular emphasis on themes relating to science and technology.[1] The sciences of cryptology and numismatics feature heavily in the series.

Anyone else on GFY read these?

I didn't even know about this book until you posted it. I want to read Under the Dome, first, but im definitely going to pick this up. You usually can't go wrong with a Stephen King novel, it's a shame that so many of his movie adaptations turn out shitty. I think it's because his novels are just too long for the movie adaptations to do them justice, the screenwriters wind up gutting the story line. Really the only decent adaptations are his short stories: Stand By Me, The Shawshank Redemption and The Mist(haven't seen this one yet.)

Wild Swans by Jung Chang.

Wild Swans: Three Daughters of China is a family history that spans a century, recounting the lives of three female generations in China, by Chinese writer Jung Chang. First published in 1991, Wild Swans contains the biographies of her grandmother and her mother, then finally her own autobiography. The book won two awards: the 1992 NCR Book Award and the 1993 British Book of the Year. The book has been translated into 30 languages and sold over 10 million copies

------

Great book - Really gives an insight into Cinese history...

You should really pick it up! I just finished it this morning and it was really good, classic Stephen King...there's just something about his novels and the way he writes that captivates you. At first I wasn't really interested in it but it's so much more then just a book about stopping the kennedy assassination. Also, Under The Dome is great and reminds me of The Stand. I hear he also has a sequel to The Shining in the works.

Annnnnnd right now I'm reading "Hater" by David Moody and "Shogun" by James Clavell

only thing i have read for tolkien is the hobbit and the ring series

heard some great things about the rest of his works tho, think i am just having a phase in terms of why i can't focus on 'the silmarillion'

No worries! Added it to my list.

I think I would have to be in the mood for them aswell, bit like the LOTR movies, need to be in a certain mindset I think for that stuff.

Only time I get to read is on holiday. I have read pretty much everything by Martina Cole. If you are not familiar with her stuff, think gangsters, vice, violence and crime in London. :)

Next up will be a break from my WWII reading - I'll just bought "The Lost Moon" by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger, about Apollo 13. After that is a book by Albert Speer, the Minister of Armaments and War Production for Nazi Germany. I believe this is an autobiography.

I read a lot - daily.

Yeah, I heard about that, it's supposed to follow the kid, Danny, as a grownup. Ron Howard is supposed to direct a film trilogy based on The Dark Tower series once they find a studio that wants to produce it. I'd like to see how that turns out if they make it. That's going to have to have a huge budget to do the books justice, and really, after the way they fucked IT up in that made-for-TV special i'm almost hoping they don't do it.
