What are you reading at the moment?

[Mikey-OH]

Good idea. You go do that. It is designed to be exactly a 40 day read. I imagine it should take you 1760 days to get through based on your expedient handling of the Secret Santa obligation. Report back in 5 years when you are done with the book...

Beat it!

Thanks for the advice. I'll be sure to map things out so that I can plan how much to read accordingly and still have ample time to brush up on how to make myself look like more of a tough guy from behind a computer screen. To me it seems weak and shows the signs of a very sad and meager individual, but I guess if everyone else is doing it I should join the revolution!

Any tips?

Holy shit. We are witnessing the metamorphosis of the lowly immature slacker into the full blown ass-hat troll.

No tough guy here numb-nuts......just an early 40's full-grown American male, who happens to posses enough common sense, personal responsibility, and respect for others that allows me to function normally in society and, more importantly, fulfill my obligations.

You have just flamed a seriously respected member of the board on top of the big shit you have taken all over the board.........like I told you in another thread, you have no friends here. Except douche bag slacker josephdetorre......who is at least smart enough to know when he isn't welcome and STFU. His package arrived, yours hasn't....none of them.

You are now entertainment and the insults and slams will get pretty creative and damn funny.

Popcorn anyone?

I'm reading a "trading psychology" book written by Brett Steenbarger. Traders represent a small interest group, but the techniques are of value in many areas of thought. If you trade, even part time, check out his work. You can find many of his articles for free on the inter-weber-thingy.

Next up: "How to Win Friends and Influence People", by Dale Carnegie...

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.

[WOXOF]

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
