Just reread "The Road" by Cormac McCarthy. Very compelling and macabre
I also just read the 38 laws of war. Very interesting book about strategy and planning. Basically composed of hundreds of smaller stories of history

I was out of town for a pre-bid/job walk this week. (Not a good week to be travelling anywhere ) The hotel where we stayed had a "leave one take one" library. I picked up an am currently reading "The Day the Bubble Burst" about the stock market crash of 1929. It is eerily similiar to what is happening now.

There was an interesting factoid in the book. Did you know that Henry Ford was outsourcing production of the Model T to a factory in Japan in 1928?

Now that I didn't know.

Looks like we have a couple history buffs here.

I had an hour or so between meetings so I browsed around a junk shop and found a first edition of T.E Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia) "Seven Pillars of Wisdom" so I am Jonesing to reread that. This is the original uncut non pc version.
