I love Bible quotes and I now love His even more.

I figure when a subject or situation comes up and Jesus says something about it I'll start there with my answer searching.

If any of you wants a Bible and does not have one I will buy one and mail it to you for Free.

That's my favorite book too.

Next book I'll read is the Reagan Diaries. My wife bought it for my birthday last week.

Recently I have been getting more into philosophy. I am reading "The Story of Philosophy" by Will Durant. It's a very interesting read.

Fav. Author: Kurt Vonnegut

I have some philosophy books left over college and I've been meaning to either re-read or read some of them for the first time.
The only problem is I have a bunch of existentialism books and they'd probably fly right over my head at this point. I'm pretty sure I've gotten significantly dumber since graduating.

I never took a course in philosophy in college which I regret. I'm starting to really like it and I'm particularly fond of Baruch Spinoza.

My dad's Ph.D. is in philosophy so I was introduced to stuff like Spinoza relatively early. Bet you can guess what his job is.

WSJ and The Economist are both must-reads for me.

My two favorite books ever are The Toothpaste Millionaire and Magellan's Terrifying Circumnavigation Around the Globe. Just recently finished Manhunt: The 12 Day Hunt for Lincoln's Killer, which was really good. Right now I'm skimming through Overthrow, about the United State's history of "overthrowing" foreign governments.

I joined something called booksfree.com recently, it's sort of like a NetFlix for books. Saves me money and time. I do love going to the bookstore though, I could spend hours there.

Hey, off track here for a moment, but which one you guys went to AU here in D.C.? Smooty or Sherriff?

I thought so. I was there yesterday looking at SPA?

What do you know of their law school? You can PM me if you want.

SGG might have a better answer since he went to law school and he's probably more familiar with law schools overall, even though he didn't go to AU. I know that AU's Washington College of Law has a good reputation, particularly for Int'l Law.

Yeah, I was speaking specifically about AUs Law School. Thanks.

I love that part of town, by the way.

because of the limited time i have, all my reading is about politics. i still read all the status quo magazines. like sports ill, maxim, stuff, people, etc.

CooleyAsCanBe · 06-06-2007, 11:00 AM

I'm a big fan of American authors John Steinbeck and Wallace Stegner.

ArtMonkDrillz · 06-06-2007, 11:04 AM

I need to read more Kurt Vonnegut. I read Slaughterhouse Five a few years ago and really enjoyed it, and I have Cat's Cradle but I've never gotten around to reading it.
