    I’ll have to check it out. How is SR? I’m sure his boys are growing up quick.

    Sounds like he's pretty busy. Davii could probably tell more.

    Finished that book yesterday. It's a really damned good. Should be a movie, should be required reading in schools like All Quiet on the Western Front. Americans don't realize how good they have it, and a book like this is good for perspective.

    Wasn't sure where else to put this so figured it works in here. I have decided that "If" by Rudyard Kipling is the single greatest artistic accomplishment ever made by arranging words.

    If you can keep your head when all about you
    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
    But make allowance for their doubting too;
    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
    Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

    If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
    And treat those two impostors just the same;
    If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
    Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

    If you can make one heap of all your winnings
    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
    And lose, and start again at your beginnings
    And never breathe a word about your loss;
    If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
    To serve your turn long after they are gone,
    And so hold on when there is nothing in you
    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

    If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
    If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
    If all men count with you, but none too much;
    If you can fill the unforgiving minute
    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
    Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
    Let's Rid3!!!!

    You guys all seem to be into sophisticated, non-fiction stuff, but I've recently started reading the Brad Thor novels, that revolve around ex-Seal, current Secret Service agent, Scott Horvath, and him single handedly kicking the living shit out of (aka, killing most of the time) bad guys.

    Not really reading anything currently.

    Finished reading a book called Zeitguist 2025 recently, it was interesting... bit conspiracy theorish, but still interesting.

    Read the entire Expanse series recently too, kinda wanna watch the show now and see if it lives up to the books at all.
