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.
The Alchemist was fantastic -

im going to get to the art of war and the prince later, but do any of yall have any books that would be a good read.
something that is related to them??
i actually just finished the Art of War, which I must say was an excellent book. it drops jewels that u can use in everyday life.
I am reading Machiaveli the Prince now but i'd say a good book after those which stick to the same theme would be:
No Substitute for Victory: Lessons in Strategy and Leadership from General Douglas MacArthur -
I've been reading a book that a friend of mine put me on to called Thicker Than Blood and its so far a great read!! I checked out their website and the Author seems very intresting but its a fiction book so I wonder how much of the book is based on his life and he's just not saying....
if anybody wants to check it out the site is www.thickerthanbloodbook.com -
I'm not sure what books you are interest in, but one of my all time favorite is the book called Hagakure: The book of the Samurai.
I love this book. I think that it is simply marvelous. As an artifact of various thoughts on how one must conduct themselves as a warrior, the book is great fun. But please keep in mind that so much of what is recorded is selected, carefully edited, arranged for aesthetic purposes, and has very little value in an of itself as an historical document. We have accounts of accounts, second and third hand information and accounts, romanticizations of many incidents, compounded by generations of handlers who have their own mental impositions on such texts. But this is a wonderful dream. A marvelous dream. And dreams are OK. Dreams are great. I love a good daydream. And for a good one, and one that comes in bite-size passages, this is a great book. So get it and let your mind sift through the fallen leaves of samurai folklore and legend. Enjoy the beauty of the aestheticized past. It is a dream that has been dancing on the mists of our imaginations of the samurai warriors of old for centuries. -
Any recommendations for books on synths. I know about Cakewalk Synthesizers book, but its limited to Cakewalks synths only.
Id like to know if anyone else can recommend books on synth progaming for sound design.
Thank you. -
