fuck man, thats not fair !!!
i just ordered drink cultura from amazon and they said they couldn't ship a used book to my adress, so i had to order a brand new one. that ain't fair, instead of paying 6$ for it i had to pay almost 12$ !!

It looks like it will be Drink Cultura. You guys will like this book. I guess I will be reading it again. In fact, I have read a few of those books.
In the Language of Kings sounds interesting.

history usually alwyas catches my attention.
culture ones are ok to. politics not really interested. kinda boring to me. novels? well depends on the novel and the content. Cosmology that could be interesting. but these are just true books. as in things thathave happened. i am a sci-fi fan as well. or well anythign to do with the imagination. so fiction is good as well. i usually like to put myself in those kinda books if they are good enough.

Oct 1st is the deadline (so to say) for everyone to have bought or 'rented' the book. I will post a new thread come this date for more precise instructions. BUT PLEASE have your book by 10/01/04. so we can read the first 2 or 3 chapters in the first week and have our first discussion by the 8th. Thanks for voting everyone! once again, the winner: "Drink Cultura"

X.icano I like your list, hey can we read something from there next???
Have you heard of Forgotten Founders??? It's about how Benjamin Franklin's notion of democracy, and much of the US constitution was based on Iroquois democracy... Haven't read it but I heard it's amazing.
