"The 48 laws of power"

I'm just finishing The Birth of Plenty: How the Prosperity of the Modern World Was Created By William J. Bernstein.
This book should be mandatory, best book I've read in years :thumbsup http://www.efficientfrontier.com/ef/404/SMCOVER.JPG |

My last Amazon order (which doesn't include the two Fancy Nancy books for my nieces ;) ):
Insatiable: Tales from a Life of Delicious Excess Divisadero Clown Girl: A Novel Chosen by a Horse Peony in Love: A Novel I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman The Road (Oprah's Book Club) About 1/2 of those were recommendations from a fellow bookoholic in the adult biz :) |
The Life of Pi- ?
Choke- Chuck Palahniuk Ishmael- Daniel Quinn |
This one saved my life:
Allen Carr's Easy Way to Stop Smoking ( by Allen Carr ) :2 cents: |
Been to long since I read a book to recommend any.

Whenever I respond to a thread like this, I recommend Blindness by Jose Saramago. Blindness is an intense and disturbing book that makes for an awesome read despite some technical flaws.
I also like Falls the Shadow and When Christ and Hist Saints Slept, both by Sharon Kay Penman. Penman writes amazing historical novels, mostly about Wales and England in the Middle Ages. Things My Girlfriend and I have Argued About and A Certain Kind of Chemistry, both by Mil Millington, are great, especially if you are a fan of his website writing. A Certain Kind of Chemistry is the better of the two, in my opinion. E=MC^2 by David Bodanis is a fantastic book about the history of Einstein's famous equation. Note that this book is about the equation and not about Einstein, himself. If you like humorous novels with a hint of actual political conscience, Sick Puppy, Skinny Dip, Basket Case and just about everything else by Carl Hiassen make for great reading. If you just want a laugh, everything Dave Barry ever wrote is great, especially his older column collections and his novel Tricky Business. If you like science fiction, I can provide suggestions right down to individual stories, but I think this is enough for one reply. SpaceAce |
Apocalypse 2012 : A Scientific Investigation into Civilization's End
http://www.armageddononline.org/apocalypse_2012.JPG Scientific Investigation Into Civilization's End Devastating earthquakes. Record-breaking tsunamis. Category 5 hurricanes. Spiking global temperatures. World war. Predictions of how it will all end have been around for thousands of years. In Apocalypse 2012, Lawrence E. Joseph reveals the curious fact that 2012 has been pinpointed as a pivotal, perhaps cataclysmic, year in human history by ancient sources and contemporary science alike. Joseph investigates this chilling correlation with an open mind and skeptical eye. He delves into historical and spiritual materials as diverse as Revelations, the I Ching, and the Islamic Hadith, drawing on scholarly works and recent controversial bestsellers such as The Bible Code. He examines the ancient Mayan Long Calendar, the source of the 2012 prophecies, and then travels to the jungles and highlands of Guatemala to work with Mayan shamans who confirm the 5,000-year-old vision. In a scientific research city in the heart of Siberia, he meets with geophysicists who contend that the solar system is moving into a highly charged interstellar energy cloud. And on the tip of South Africa, he interviews physicists and psychics who are trying to make sense of the fact that the earth?s magnetic field is vanishing. Joseph concludes that we are in a race against time. Apocalypse 2012 is an authoritative and deeply unsettling appraisal of just how close the earth, or at least our species, might be to extinction. http://www.apocalypse2012.com/us/ |
I HIGHLY recommend The Saxon Novels by Bernard Cornwell. There are three books in the series and they are amazing. He's a very talented writer when it comes to historical fiction. The first book in the series is The Last Kingdom. I was pulled in by page one and I didn't stop til I finished the series! It's about the Viking invasion of England during The Dark Ages.
