	The Iliad, by Homer The Bible, by God. Lots of mass destruction in that one. Heroes Die and Blade of Tyshalle, by Matthew Woodring Stover. Even more violence than the Bible. The Naval War of 1812, by Teddy Roosevelt. Hardly a page-turner, but a great book nonetheless. The Art of Warfare, by Sun Tzu. Learn to subtly kick your enemies' ass. On War, by Karl von Clausewitz. Or you can just drop the hammer on them. The Worm Ourobouros, by I forget. Must be read to be believed. -----signature----- "This will be our reply to violence: To make music more intensely, More beautifully, More devotedly than ever before." - Leonard Bernstein

	"Star Wars" by George Lucas (ghost written by Alan Dean Foster, I believe). It's quite the little romp. They should make it into a movie. Amazing. -----signature----- Green Apples~! November is AmazingB Awareness Month. Who here likes a good story about a bridge?

	Bravo Two Zero by Andy McNab The story of eight British SAS troops who went behind the lines in Iraq. Four became POWs, three were killed, and one made it out. The story is told very matter-of-factly, since it doesn't need to play up on any sort of danger. What those men went through was more than enough. -----signature----- Voted Dork Magazine's "Sexiest Nerd Alive" for 2008 http://i211.photobucket.com/albums/bb237/Snerdmania/DSCF0113.jpg
