"Some have learnt many Tricks of sly Evasion, Instead of Truth they use Equivocation, And eke it out with mental Reservation, Which is to good Men an Abomination."
I don't have to attend every argument I'm invited to.

I bought this book..
Its about the Upanishads which are part of the Hindu Shruti scriptures which primarily discuss meditation and philosophy and are seen as religious instructions by most schools of Hinduism.
Dont worry, I'm not going to read them any soon.Last edited by Samudra; 18 Nov 05,, 15:35.

I'm about halfway through Guns Germs and Steel, but having to read Robbins Pathology and hundreds of pages of course notes has pretty much halted my recreational reading. Its a shame but by the end of the day all I can do is veg with the TV.
Its really cool that you guys read so much. If you have time, I recommend reading 2001: A Space Odyssey. Yeah, I know I know, the movie is boring, trust me the book isn't. Its very short, and is different from the movie. You will like it.

Most influential book in my life has been 'Atlas Shrugged', by Ayn Rand. Wow.

I've just received 3 books from Amazon.com
First up is Shattered Sword, a fresh look at the Battle of Midway.
I've written a review on the History Forum
After that is Operation K: The Second Bombing of Pearl Harbor
Finally, a brand new book on the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot.“He was the most prodigious personification of all human inferiorities.
