Finished Stalingrad: The Fateful Siege based on Roosh's recommendation. Absolutely outstanding book. I dont think the men of today would last 10 seconds on the battlefields of that war.
Just picked up a copy of Peter the Great by Robert Massie.

One of the respected members gave me Motley Crue the dirt. Turned the first few pages last night while drinking and went to bed listening to Home Sweet Home. So far the book is great, and I've always respected Neil Strauss as an author.
Growing up watching MTV with the Girls Girls Girls video was epic. I think that video help define who I am. Ended up buying a Harley and running all over LA raising hell. Good times.

Started reading "Shop Class as Soulcraft" yesterday. The book has a solid premise, but the language is more flowery and ornate than necessary, especially considering it's a book about working with one's hands.

Just finished a quick re-read of Starship Troopers. It was a eye-opener for me when i was a teenager.

Right now, I'm almost finished with Philip Roth's "The Human Stain," which is fucking awesome so far. And I'm listening to "Moby Dick" on my phone, but I'm just about over it. Next on the list is "Catch 22," then "American Psycho."

Up next, probably "Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life" by Neil Strauss.

Have you seen the film for 'Whatever'? It is a very strange and interesting film.
You can watch it here:

The main actor in the film is also the director. Don't see that very often.
The film had a big impact on me. I watched it in 2003. And it was the first time I saw a film that said "You know how shit things are for you now? Well you won't meet the girl of your dreams and nothing will ever get better. And then you die."
After all the Hollywood bullshit it was like being woken from a deep sleep with a bucket of water to the face. It was a red pill moment of sorts since it was the first time I had seen some 'real talk' thrown my way. I found the message both exhillirating and terrifying. Back in my blue-pill/oneitis days it was a very powerful message.
The film came out in 1999. Which is the same year that Fight Club, Matrix and American Beauty came out. And for me - those films have red pill type messages as well.
In fact - I watched the film with a blue pill friend who was just as hopeless with the wimminz as me. And we both said we had never seen a film like it. We never discussed it further - but I sense we came away having similar feelings about the film. He ended up spending a couple of years in Japan and marrying a girl over there before moving back. Which was something I predicted would happen.
I mention this since that is what people do in this country when they cannot get laid. They go abroad and wife up. Since in some countries - being English seems to still have a cache of sorts. Particularly in Asia. I am guessing they all think we hang out with Harry Potter and drink tea with Prince William. lolllzzzz

Here are some of the books I recently finished. I won't list all of them, just some of the more interesting ones.
Life at the Speed of Light- about bioengineering. Interesting. My first foray into this topic.
The Smartest kinds in the World and How they got that way- I enjoyed it. Shows my America is on the slide.
Race to the Pole- Ranulph Fiennes' telling of the exploration of Antarctica. Fascinating as he has actually done that stuff. I have developed a mild man-crush on Fiennes lately. His biography is on order.
The Psychopath Inside- A neuroscientist discovers he has the brain of a psychopath. Interesting stuff. Even more interesting seeing a list of traits for a psychopath and seeing that I have some of them. I just saw "Snakes in Suits" the other day. I put it on the wish list and will read it in the future.
Some books I am currently reading. I'm currently on a bit of an explorer kick amongst some of the other stuff I'm reading.
The World's most Dangerous Place- on Somalia. This pick inspired by Chaos's Pakistan story and and Aliblahba's post in the interesting places thread "I have no desire to go into the Africa interior. Its so bad in some places companies were actually paying MORE to go there than Baghdad in its prime. That's hard to comprehend. One of the baddest dudes I ever met was from N. Ireland and had spent his entire adult life fighting terrorist. His crew took a job some where on the dark continent, and left after 30 days due to the brutality. Absolute zero fucks given for human life. If a group of hardened merc's with dozens of kills under their belt can't handle it, fuck all if I'd go there unarmed on a fun run." I know Somalia isn't the African interior, but it sounds like it will be an exciting read.
Skeletons on the Zahara- 19th century American merchant ship gets stranded on the African coast and the crew gets sold into slavery and escapes.
The Unconquered:In Search of the Amazon's Last Uncontacted Tribe- Self explanatory
