Cleopatra: A Life by Stacy Schiff Julius Caesar: The Colossus of Rome by Richard Billows Diving The Spoils: The War for Alexander's Great Empire by Robin Waterfield
Never has a book made me laugh as much as Lies (And the Lying Liars Who tell Them). At one point he uses some of O' Reilly's racy fiction in the middle of discussing a completely different subject. Shit is hilarious.

You're very welcome. It was a great help to me when I was trying to break through the "weekend warrior" barrier in rock climbing. Recommended to me personally by a world champion rock climber, Robyn Erbesfield. (and I think I just massacred her last name!"
Last two I've read were: Deadly Charm: The Story of a Deaf Serial Killer by McCay Vernon and Marie Vernon If the title doesn't give it away, it's about a Deaf serial killer. Pretty interesting read. He mainly ended up killing people out of communication frustration And The Help by Kathryn Stockett Fairly popular book now it seems, likely because of the movie that'll be coming out (or is already out?). It shares insight into the lives of black maids during the 1960's, a white woman publishes a book sharing those very stories with the hope that it'll have an impact. Currently taking 7 classes at school, Spend too much time with textbooks and not with novels (I miss my 'friends' :lol: )
"Regards From the Dragon" by Taky Kimura The Late Bruce Lee's best friend Taky Kimura has given great insights into the thinking of one of the last century's most influential human beings according to Time magazine. A great read. "This Is Herman Cain: My Journey to the White House" by Herman Cain I do not expect him to have a prayer in chance of getting to the White House, but, I must say this man has had an accomplished life in running and turning around businesses. I did not know many things about him like being a mathematician. "The Sinister Mind: Forbidden Arts of Asian Power Cults and Secret Societies" by Dr. HaHa Lung Fascinating read in the asian mind and how asians (Chinese, Koreans, Japanense, Indians etc... view the world and their commitment to dominate it for the 21st century.
