The Art of War

I've started reading this book. It's actually quite good. I was just wondering if anyone else is reading/has read this book, care to share your thoughts.

For anyone who doesn't know, it was made in 500BC (aprox) by Sun Tzu. It depicted military and political tactics aswell as Chinese tools and weapons. Many people take this book hella-serious and pretty well base their lives aroudn his teachings.

The one by Machiavelli is quite good as well.

I don't read enough, I've read 2 books in 5 months. lol...Marilyn Manson: The Long Hard Road Out Of Hell (Autobio of Marilyn Manson) and Helter Skelter: The True Story Of The Manson Murders (Charles Manson).

Both were hella good. I'll probably at least give The Art Of War a glance, if not more. I'm currently in the process of reading a book about A.F.I.

Sounds like fun.

Gotta start reading some of these classics. Read way too much modern and after 1914 books.
