that one sounds good.
i gotta check it out -
The Alchemist by Paolo Coelho
anything ever written by Jane Austen
Catch 22 by Heller
48 Laws of Power is too cynical for my liking. I don't think it's that applicable to contemporary times honestly. -

i see people using the laws EVERY day. in subtle ways.
the dont put too must trust in friends, use your enemies
never say to much
never outshine your master
let others do the work you take the credit.
disarm with kindness, honesty.
i see them everyday.
let your enemy come to you. you have more power -
Recently I been on my serial killer fiction and true crime kick...
HeartSick by Chelsea Cain
Damaged Portland detective Archie Sheridan spent ten years tracking Gretchen Lowell, a beautiful serial killer, but in the end she was the one who caught him. Two years ago, Gretchen kidnapped Archie and tortured him for ten days, but instead of killing him, she mysteriously decided to let him go. She turned herself in, and now Gretchen has been locked away for the rest of her life, while Archie is in a prison of another kind–addicted to pain pills, unable to return to his old life, powerless to get those ten horrific days off his mind. Archie’s a different person, his estranged wife says, and he knows she’s right. He continues to visit Gretchen in prison once a week, saying that only he can get her to confess as to the whereabouts of more of her victims, but even he knows the truth–he can’t stay away. When another killer begins snatching teenage girls off the streets of Portland, Archie has to pull himself together enough to lead the new task force investigating the murders. A hungry young newspaper reporter, Susan Ward, begins profiling Archie and the investigation, which sparks a deadly game between Archie, Susan, the new killer, and even Gretchen. They need to catch a killer, and maybe somehow then Archie can free himself from Gretchen, once and for all. Either way, Heartsick makes for one of the most extraordinary suspense debuts in recent memory -

its really interesting. it talks about how athletes today are like slavery. Its true if you think about it, you have white ownerhip and black atheltes are getting tons of money becuz of there atheltic gifts to make a profit for the owner. Yet the owner still has all authority to get rid of that player and not resign hm if he doesnt want to. -

i understand the metaphor, but it still sounds pretty dumb to me.
THEY ARE MILLIONAIRS!!!! that is what everyone wants to be, and they are not slaves, they easily can just quit.
bad analogy.
in my opinion -
2 more that i have read that are VERY GOOD ARE
forged by fire
and p.u.s.h
