The Republic -

The Republic as in the book by Plato? If so, were you ever able to finish it? I absolutely love the discussions, but as a non-native speaker the dialogue becomes too dreadful at times. I never finished it.

I am not much of a fiction reader and stick to non-fiction literature. Currently I am reading the God Delusion by Richard Dawkinson.

I was finally able to snag this book recently & have gone through 10~ish pages a night for the last week or so. :)




I also recently got this book. Not necessarily just for the fitness aspect of it, but more for the cool autobiographical stories that are in it along the way. If you're a Stallone fan, you'll like this book. :thumbs:


The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

That book is so damn sad...      after all that survivor syndrome bullshit some people randomly killed his Dog after he got back to the states

Interesting side not - a friend of mine was one of the USAF SF sent to retrieve the 16 other SF killed in the rescue helicopter crash...     as he mentioned the whole operation was a "Supreme Cluster F*** of epic proportions"

You know, im a huge Stern and Artie fan, but I thought the book was somewhat of a disappointment. Don't get me wrong, there were some really good stories and revelations, but a lot of them seemed to be just 'filler' or stories that anyone who listens to the show regularly has already heard a billion times. I guess I was expecting more, since the ghostwriter (Anthony Bozza) is the same guy who did Slash's book (which I really enjoyed).

I have three more classes left.  I wish I did this stuff in my twenties.  I'd be a millionaire now and have two restored Chargers.  Anyone would benefit from this class especially younger people :Twocents:
