I was encourage to read War of the Worlds by Urgeok and Im really glad I did. Its different to any of the film interpretations and so much better. Its only a short book and once you get into it, you'll fly through it.

On Killing- The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society. Great book, though some of the psychology is a bit dated. Does not detract from the message. With the exception of two or three percent of the population (natural born killers), killing another man is a difficult thing to do. With the right training, though, such resistance can be much reduced. My favorite statistic was the average rifle kill rates in WW2 and Vietnam: raised from 15% to 90%, repectively. Ashe.

Read Beckett's Waiting for Godot today - glad I finally did. A masterpiece to be sure.

It really is. I had thought it would be a waste of money before I picked it up, but it's worth its weight in cocaine.
