Classic. My favorites are 4, 5, 10, 20, 28, 46 & 48. (just a few lol).

Edit: I don't know them by heart. I grabbed the book off the shelf real quick.

Currently reading The Long Emergency by James Howard Kuntsler. A very candid look at the imminent end of oil. Also takes a look at life before, the present political situation as a result of, and why other proposed replacements aren't enough to satisfy the demand. Basically, the sh*t's going to hit the fan.

Yeah, I had this book for a while. A must read. I stopped in the middle somewhere, but I got a LOT out of it. Every now and then I pick it back up. Its so heavy, and scandalous that I had to read a little here, and a little there.

Some REALLY good stuff in there. I showed it to my younger brother and now he wants a copy.

The author has another book about seduction too. I tried skimming that at the bookstore...doesn't have the same punch as the Power book to me.

Also 50-cent (rapper) was supposed to team up with this author to right the 50th law (a spin-off of the 48 laws).

QUESTION - how did you come across this book? why did you begin reading it?

A friend of mine introduced me to it. He felt that I could be better equipped for the "chess game of life" or the "office politics".. the rat race. I read it because you're either a victim or your not. On some level these games are every where. I try to separate myself from them as much as possible, but when they peak out I want to be able to identify them and respond accordingly, if need be.

48 Laws of Power = modern day Art of War or The Prince.

Currently reading "Value in the Valley" by Iyanla Vanzant.

I tried to get into this a few years ago and never did, for some reason I'm drawn to it.
