Anyone else on this board like to read? I almost always read non-fiction, but I saw a book called The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli. Has anyone read it?


I always liked Business as a Calling, and Blue Ocean Strategy.

It isn't so much that liberals are ignorant. It's just that they know so many things that aren't so.

The Prince is an interesting book, and I would call it, well, philosophical. Basically everything bad in politics? It probably came from something in that book. [Razz]

I'm currently reading a biography on Warren Buffett. It's interesting to see how he built his fortune via old fashioned buying cheap and selling (or not) when the price soars.

Let me know how that bio on Buffet turns out. Some bios can be pretty good. I like reading about Jack Welch, that guy is a decent success story. He turned GE into a big deal. What is sad is since he is a conservative his genius gets overlooked, slammed, and degraded.

Honestly I believe my next book is likely to be Meghan McCain's Dirty Sexy Politics.

Want to know what the next senator of Arizona has to say.
