The retirement package laid out for us when signing was unbeatable; galactic rule, live like kings, blah blah blah. Our 401k took a big hit after the first death star went kaput. Things were really starting to look up, then those damn terrorists hit our rebuild...

It was quite good also. I recommend any of the books in that list.

Passionate Declarations: Essays on War and Justice (Howard Zinn).

It was good, it talks about several aspects of american society. it's basically a book about Zinn's views on War and other issues. It's good to read something about Justice once in a while. Even though he might seem a bit extremist, he reminds us of all the problems in this [poo] world.

Inside Delta Force by CSM Eric Haney

It is outstanding. I've been reading so much Navy SEAL stuff, it's good to read some Army stuff for once. :gun_bandana: :gunsmilie:

Currently reading: The Histories by Herodotus, Euclid's Elements in the original Greek, and then Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina (I'm such a sucker for short stories!). I wish I had more time to read, but I'm trying to study classic culture in my spare time because I realized that majoring in computer science is a "better" move than majoring in classics...
I'm really excited to go pick up Tales of the Bounty Hunters next week, I heard it was really good.
