    Any tips?
    Nice psychological profile you have created for me, Mikey. I am indeed very sad and meager.

    I guess if sarcasm = trying to be a tough guy, then I should be the Master of Ceremonies at this year's Chuck Norris convention. I cannot believe what a POS asshole you are. No, that was not being tough; just truthful.

    We have a nice little sandbox here. You are like the little snot nosed kid that keeps trying to play with the big boys but keeps tripping over his own untied shoes instead.

    Well, I'm over half way through Lone Survivor.

    HOLY SHIT! What an eye-opener. I can't put it down.

    Done with Lone Survivor. I was going to start Ghost Soldiers, but I've switched to Dead Man's Walk followed up by Comanche Moon.

    Thought there might be a thread like this in here somewhere.......

    I usually read several at a time, depending on the mood. Usually, they are all vastly different from one another, so I don't get confused.

    Fidel Castro by Robert E. Quirk
    Pere Goriot by Honore de Balzac
    The Dilbert Principle by Scott Adams

    I don't go through books quickly, and don't usually care for fiction, although every once-in-a-while I'll pick one up. Sometimes I even finish them.

    Currently reading Travels with Barley. It's about a guy that travels down the Mississippi River in search of the perfect beer joint. Really good book so far (half way through)

    Also, The Complete Joy of Homebrewing 3rd Edition.

    right now i'm reading the wealth of nations by Adam Smith. I'm almost done it. Its interesting but Smith tends to repeat himself quite a bit. for those who dont know, Smith is the forefather of economics, classical economics to be exact. this book is basically his philosophy on economics.

    After this i'm prolly reading A General Theory of employment, interest, and money John Maynard Keynes. Same type of book, but it is the criticsm of Smith's TWoN, I wanna see how both men feel about economics...call me a weirdo but this interests me
