				I'm currently reading 'The art of War' by Sun Tzu. It's the earliest and still the most revered military treatise in the world.
It's really interesting, a lot of those strategies can also be used in our daily lives

				Art of war is fucking mad. It also depends which version you read, because there are many different versions due to translation.

YESSSS! Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is probably my favourite novel ever (and I've read loads cos I'm dead brainy). Haruki Murakami is a BADMAN. He should get the Nobel Prize for Literature. And the Nobel Prize for Being a Badman
 
word i'm reading The Wild Sheep Chase by murakami.  It's good so far

yea, there's dozens of sub-plots, and over 400 characters appearing and disappearing throught the book's 800 pages. This is the first time I've ever considered reading the German translation of a book instead of the original...  we'll see... I've just started two days ago...
