If you liked "The Art Of War" another great read is "Thick Face Black Heart"
This book is one of my all time favorites and complements The Art Of War perfectly ![]() |

"48 Laws of Power" is a must. So is "The Prince."

Usually the titles say it all - greenbacks, power, "my dick is bigger", how to impressive your friends. Basically stuff that appeals where a personality is deficient - the book will give ya some cred in your life ![]()

That goes for making your sig too... p.s. I read the Art of War way back and contrary to popular opinion, it was never designed to apply to all facets of your life. I love when you see CEOs etc proudly displaying this book in their office. A good sign the type of person you're dealing with ... AOW is NOT about how to run a business, your life, marriage or anything else. It was written by a warlord on battle strategies a loooong time ago. And when people try to apply the theories to a corporate board room, it's a stretch to say the least. |

For something that just has to be fiction, except it's all true, try Killing Pablo. It's a first-hand account of tracking down the notorious drug cartel boss Pablo Escobar. Literally, a cant-put-it-down type of book. Shocking at just how powerful he was and how scary it must have been (and still is?) to live in that part of the world. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Art...e_the_military My point was simply that it was written for military application. Anyone who tries to apply it to other parts of life (business, etc.) is reading something that isn't there. Now if there are some similarities between strategies on the battle field and those in the corporate world, it is purely because as humans we tend to react the same in similar situations. (On the battlefield, a huge army approaches a lone man, he's likely to run. If Walmart opens shop beside a small mom-and-pop, he's likely to close his doors) .. Does the owner of the mom-and-pop need to read Art of War to figure that out? Or was it natural instinct? Could he have better prepared for this by reading the book ... |

Now I am searching for "The Book." Not fiction, real life. The book that grabbed you by the nuts and wouldnt let go until you flipped its last page. The book that made a big change in your life, etc. And no I am not about the self help books. If that were the case I would join the Oprah book club. ![]()

This is a little different to the rest of the suggestions here, but the nerds amongst us will no doubt be kicking themselves THEY didn't suggest it.
The book you have to read is known in common parlance as GEB, or more formally, Gödel, Escher, Bach: an Eternal Golden Braid. The linked article will expand on the content of this book, but to summarize it for you, if you take time to really read and understand GEB, everything you know about life itself will change. A pretty bold claim, but absolutely true nonetheless. A warning: GEB is heavy going. Seriously. It's not a book to be taken lightly. There are courses at universities that dedicate an entire year to reading and studying this book. You, of course, don't need to take that long to read it, but when you're reading it, you're going to have to concentrate, and anything you don't understand, go back over. The author is remarkably adept at explaining some seriously complex shit in understandable terms, but even still, you're dealing with shit like set theory, mind-fucking paradoxes, isomorphism and the very nature of consciousness itself, from a mathematical perspective. Of course, if you make the effort and do get through it all, it will be one of the most rewarding experiences of your life, and as I already mentioned, your outlook on *everything* will change, not because it's full of mystical and spiritual wonder, but because goddamn, this book explains the fucking universe, and lets you in on the secret.

![]() No problem mate,
But following the same riteria as the GEB over there, you have to take a look at Jorge Luis Borges books, I would begin with "the Aleph" Seriously, your IQ will go up like 30 points after reading his books. Stephen Hawkings is nice also, u should try it.

Haven't seen anybody mention...
"Getting to Yes" by Roger Fisher and William Ury For 7.95 - the advice and suggestions most of which are common sense but work as great reminders has probably created more wealth and solved more problems than any other book. It's also the most cited/referenced book by negotiating professionals - it'll help resolve conflict in all of your relationships from romantic to work to family and beyond. |

Indeed he wrote all of his books in spanish, but I am sure the translations to english would not be that tough, I am from Brasil and I can translate most everything to english with no problems, considering that spanish is not tht different from protuguese I guess it would not be that bad. Although reading a book at the author original language is a new experience altogether. i.e: Frankenstein and Silmarillion.

"The Prince", "Getting to yes." And now I started on the "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People."
I do not want to stop. I need good reads. If anyone can give some more input. It would be sincerely appreciated.
