The Prince is overated and repetitive as hell...
I'm not really reading anything now but the last book I read was Cheaters.

You're an idiot.
I am reading Dan Brown's Deception Point. The book is atrociously written and very tedious. But I am finishing it, although uncomfortably.

I'd be an idiot, if I said what everyone else says and didn't form my OWN
opinion. I liked the book, but that's how the book came off to me.
I am currently reading The Da Vinci Hoax by Carl E. Olson and Sandra Mielson.
Why the hell are you reading so many spinoffs from the Da Vinci Code duke? It's one book, read it and move on, your infatuated with Dan Brown's work.
Anyway, the Prince is the classic political treatise on human nature, and how to rule, it also is a glaring indication of how people can manipulate situations and sustain power. How the hell is it repetitive?

Don't worry about what I read Hoz...I became interested in certain subjects and I wanna read more. I have six more months over here, I have plenty of time to read different books on different subjects. And BTW, only ONE of those books is by Dan Brown. The one I'm reading now is against the work of Dan Brown.
And The Prince speaks on certain subjects more then once. Which makes it partially repetitive.
The Dirt........The life and times of Motley Crue.........Very good, they dont make rock n roll bands like these anymore lol
im thinkin bout startin tha dictionary tomarrow...

First you say the Prince is overly repetitive, now it's partially repetitive ? Choose a middle ground. The Prince explains how leaders(Bush) can blindly control hordes of minions like you. I suggest you read it with a thoughtful eye and see how relative it is to your situation.
Secondly, the fact that you are reading critical analysis about the Da Vinci Code is pathetic--the book is has fictionals and some rare veritable parts--get over it.
Dan Brown is a horrible writer, I have read three of his four publications, and only the Da Vinci Code aided my unyeilding quest for gratification

lol..you seem like your personally offended....I liked the Prince man, it was a good book, esp for someone in my position...but he repeated a lot of shit...
anyway, don't come at me, go terrorize the people who don't read at all...
go ask some of the illiterates about the Prince...go find the living decendents of the Medici family and ask them why their ancestors didn't like it..
As far as the Da Vinci Code, I have plenty of time in my life to go out and read other books...why you are trying to knock my interests and critisize my indulgences is beyond me..

I'm not offended, just appalled by the fact that an assiduous reader such as yourself will try to denigrate one of the greatest philisophical assesments ever written
And The Da Vinci Code hype is superfluous and exhausted--you should seriously move on
I don't terrorize others, because well, I just don't care about those treat reading as a transitory hobby.

Again man, the only reason why I'm reading this book now, is cause I wanna know the otherside of the story. I knew very little about the whole "Jesus being married" thing, which is why I wanna hear about it from the opposite point of view. After this book, I plan on moving on. I'll probably be reading "The Art of War" next.
As far as The Prince, I liked the book dawg. I thought it was very relevent in today's modern world. But no book is perfect. Even classics have flaws. Sometimes their just hard to find.

I read the Autobiography of Joseph D Pistone before, it was a good read, went into more detail just how much the whole thing affected his family life and how other FBI agents reacted around him afterwards.
Maybe should check it out

I am reading 1984--a book that describes how Communism can afflict a society.
"Profession Of Violence: The Rise And Fall Of The Kray Twins"
It's a biography of Ronald and Reginald Kray; the twin crime lords who ruled the London underworld in the 1960's. These two dudes are legends, like Al Capone is here in the states. They were so ruthless that to this day, even though both of them are dead, some people are still too scared to even speak their names.

I read "Faust" by Goethe...I thought it was pretty good, but the Germen-English translations made it a little hard to understand.

LMAO. It doesn't have any homosexual implications, I can assure you of that. The book won the Pulitzer Prize in 1947, and the film won best picture in 1949, PLUS they are going to have a remake of that movie later this year starring Sean Penn.
And@Ras--The Caterbury Tales was a derision based on the inethical conduct of the Catholic Church and Society of England in the Middle Ages. I have read excerpts from the poem in my literature class, but I am going to read the poem in full soon.
I ordered Slaughterhouse Five by Vonneguit, I should recieve it by next week. Hope that is a good one.
Right now I am reading Lolita written by Vladimir Nabakov. Interesting novel.
Just finished reading "The Boys From Brazil" this morning. That was an ill book -- I believe shit like that is really going on. I wouldn't put it past them Nazis.
Just got a shitload of books in the mail a couple weeks ago, that I haven't even opened yet. I might start reading "Live From Death Row" by Mumia Abu-Jamal.
