hmm... machiavelli is horrible, but The Prince is still pretty essential in understanding that type of governance well.

Can someone recommend a book for me to read? I'm going to the bookstore tomorrow. I'll try anything if I haven't read it before.

notice to sheer, read atlas shrugged. amazing book, here's the parageraph that hit me the hardest so far:
"Do you wish to know when that day is coming? Watch money. Money is the measure of a society's virtue. When you see that trading is done, not by consent, but by compusion- when you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from a men who produce nothing- when you see that money is flowing to those who deal, not in goods, but in favors- when you see men get richer by graft and pull than by work, and yourlaws don't protect you against them, but protect them against you- when you see corruption being rewarded and honesty becoming a self-sacrifice- you may know that your society is doomed."

Oh hey, terra, I saw somewhere that some other dude is going to finish The Wheel of Time, because Jordan left behind his notes or something in case if he were to die.

Okay guys... since everyone's raving about Murakami, I went to the Borders at the mall here and got Kafka on the Shore. It was the only Murakami book they had here, so I'm going to start reading it Friday when I go home on the train.

I'm currently reading Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky. Only on page 50 something, but it's good so far. Raskolnikov is mentioned in basically every piece of literature released after Crime and Punishment, so I figured I might as well read about him. I really like him.

Not my favorite, but it's good. One of his strangest, though... if you don't like that one, do give a different one a shot.
I never finished Catch-22, so I've started it again.
