I am currently reading 3 books right now, first one is Shock Troops By Tim Cook its part 2 of 1 about canadians fighting in the great war and looks more at the fighting skills of the canadians from 1916/17-1918. The second book i am reading is called A Most Dangerous Book by Christopher B Krebs, this one is about the roman historian Tacitus and his writeing of Germania and how it relates to the nazis self image of themselves......(this one is a bit more dry compared to the other 2). The third one is Legends of the Samurai by Hiroaki Sato, and talks more about the orgins of the samurai and other specific details in terms of the way of the warrior.... (I have a hard time remembering the names of the people that are listed in this book because i dont know how to pronounce it properly, but at least i will have practice by the time i am done reading it). billyblade 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like some military sci-fi stuff. Anything by Jerry Pournelle, and the stuff he wrote with Larry Niven.

I was on a night service call years ago when I pulled into a dunkin doughnuts to get a coffee....so kid I went to school with and didnt get along well with was now a cop...in the dunkin doughnuts....he kinda knew me from high school and didnt like me to well so he started to harass me a bit...how the times had changed....anyhow.... he called in my license and there was an outstanding warrant for my arrest....I was like WTF?? Really? for what?? he said it doesnt say but its from 1989....I was like hmmm....could be anything really...I dont really remeber 1989 so well....anyhow....bam...arrested.... Fast forward to the next morning....I grab a local lawyer and proceed to court the next day...after getting bailed out at 3 am and such.....my lawyer goes upstairs to find out what the warrant is for....he comes back and loudly announces in the court room that he cant belive what he just heard about me and marches me outside....now everyone in court is looking at me like a serial killer and I am like oh shit....I wonder what the hell I did.... We get outside and he says...did you forget to return a library book in 1988??? Well...the judge didnt know what the hell to do and adjourned my case until I could make contact with the library...which I did after looking through my books and shit I had found the one in question....BTW this is all in 1996....like they couldnt find me before? ANyhow....the lady at the library didnt know what to do so she charged my $20.00 in fines and let me keep the book....I go back to court and the judge fined me $20 more and court costs....then the lawyer charged me $250.00.... So now there is a file on me somewhere regqarding my lawless ways.... I still own the book....ready for this?? "Practical Chess Endgames" Good lord....

Ron Hubbard.(yes i know his a weird one) but this book was a great and epic science fiction novel.(ive read it 4 times in the past years at a 1000+ pages) and of course John Travolta made a movie about it (i cried when i saw it ), one of the worst movies ever!!! it could of been a great movie! blk_plague 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
