They are all great to have... when i am in need of advice, i usually just open one of them on a random place and start reading... not only is it relaxing, but usually i can find something to apply to whatever problem i am having...

"Black Order" by James Rollins. Really enjoy his stuff, I've read everything he's written. Wow, the Book of Five Rings, now that's a blast from the past. Go Rin No Sho IIRC?

As the song goes, "Even Old New York was once New Amsterdam." Unfortunately, for many Americans, that is the limit of their knowledge about the Dutch colony that was seized by the English in 1664. Shorto, author of two previous books and articles published in the New Yorker and the New York Times Magazine, presents an outstanding and revealing chronicle of the Dutch presence on Manhattan Island

A good book! I am reading the Bible right now. I had planned to get through it by year end. Doesn't look like I will make it though.
