I have to admit, I grinned. Almost as much as I grinned when Wei Wong was reporting on how Wong Wei (not kidding, both names are real) had crashed his plane into a US spy plane.

Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

I thought this thread was actually going to be about books. Should've known better.

Could be. But could also be a Glaswegion, Aberdonian or even someone from Yorkshire. Rather depends how one perceives the sound made by 'fook' and that depends on which part of China Mr Wong hails from and the colour of the sky at the moment of his conception. (just joking)

Nothing in particular. I'm always on the lookout for a recommendation. I've been on a Cormac McCarthy kick for a while but I've read pretty much everything he's published so I'm looking for something new.

I suppose it all depends on which part of the journey through life you presently find yourself on. I am doing my best to cover all those books I should have read years ago. My debt to myself I suppose. Re-reading a few lighter tomes too.

I think Beefy's a fan of Heinlein, but I could be mistaken...

The Book of Basketball The NBa According to the Sports Guy by Bill Simmons
Only 50 pages in but it is awesome and hilarious!
Oh, and I got the new biography of Ayn Rand. I'm sure you all will love that one as well.
