accoridng to Sun Tzu. It's really intresting to read
Cool - I've heard of this but never really looked at it.
I saw a movie called "The Art Of War" and it wasn't that good...
But I think I'll read this, I heard that it's good, and I have plenty of free time now, since it's summer.
I've been looking for something to read that was neither a calculus book, a physics book, nor related to computers...
How about... catcher in the rye?
Both are great books, the art of war. another great readings are slaughterhouse five and 10,000 leagues under the seaQuote:

If we're turning this into a good books thread, I just finished Brave New World, which was good. 1984, Atlas Shrugged, The Fountainhead, Crime and Punishment, and Candide are all good or excellent. Anything by Nietzsche is a definite waste of time and energy. Plato's Republic is decent, but not great, and for now, that's all I can really think of. The LoTR trillogy (plus the Hobbit) is good for anyone that's kinda young or really likes fantasy.
That's totally unrelated to the book. Please don't think they have anythign in common.Quote:

As he said,
that that does not kill me makes me stronger.
I know they aren't related, because in the movie, on of the characters was reading something from the book, but I cannot remember details, and it's seemed that they are not related.Quote:

And it's great, because the movie SUCKS!
Yeah, I remember that. And yes, a thousand times yes, that movie sucked.Quote:

Our German good even: does it not signify "the godlike," the man of "godlike race"? And is it not identical with the popular (originally noble) name of the Goths? The grounds for this conjecture cannot be dealt with here. -- (Genealogy of Morals, First Essay, Section 5)
I couldn't find any of his quotes about the inferiority of women, but you get the point. It's rubbish.Quote:
Death.--The certain prospect of death could sweten every life with a precious and fragrant drop of levity -- and now you strange apothecary souls have turned it into an ill-taasting drop of poison that makes the whole of life repulsive. (The Wanderer and His Shadow)
What's wrong with that?Quote:

Dismissing Nietzsche as rubbish... Interesting...
Nietzsche says some interestin' stuff...
When he says "parties", he's talking about beer parties. True story.Quote:
Insanity in individuals is something rare - but in groups, parties, nations, and epochs it is the rule.
Hey, I liked that movie.
