Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein"
"And one should bear in mind that there is nothing more difficult to execute, nor more dubious of success, nor more dangerous to administer than to introduce a new order to things; for he who introduces it has all those who profit from the old order as his enemies; and he has only lukewarm allies in all those who might profit from the new. This lukewarmness partly stems from fear of their adversaries, who have the law on their side, and partly from the skepticism of men, who do not truly believe in new things unless they have personal experience in them."
~ Niccolo Machiavelli

"Retreat, Hell!" by W.E.B. Griffin, the latest book in his The Corps series. His books are total bubblegum, but I like them.

lol, I read the encyclopedia often too. Unfortunately I only have it on the computer. Or maybe that's a good thing. I don't have that much room for all those volumes. It's fun to read though. Especially when you come across something you haven't heard before.

Viking Age Iceland and Medieval Iceland by Jesse Byock. Both are pretty good books if you like the time period. Iceland has a more interesting history than most of Europe at the time.

Re: What book are you currently reading?
Im reading Shogun by James Clavell's. Basically its about an English man that is sailing a Deutch ship and the ship runs into a strom and sinks. Blackthorne (the englishman) and his men are on the Japans, anf its basically about him and how he lives and learns the japanese ways, its awesome, Im loving it. Here is what the book says about it
"A bold English adventurer. An invincible Japanese warlord. A beautiful women torn between two ways of life, two ways of love. All brought together in a might saga of a time and place aflame with conflict, passion, ambition, lust and the struggle for power....."
Its a really good book so far, I can get you guys a link for it if you want.
Goofball what does "total bubblegum" mean? Ive read a few of W.E.B Griffin's books, they are pretty good.
Re: What book are you currently reading?
^^^^ Read that book when I was 11, read it again at 13, reading it again now.
I LOVE SHOGUN!1!11!111
I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time,To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all,Screw 'em all
You are your own sight
I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority

Shottie, I suggest you PM Frogbeastegg, she's a bit of a buff on all things medieval.
"I request permanent reassignment to the Gallic frontier. Nay, I demand reassignment. Perhaps it is improper to say so, but I refuse to fight against the Greeks or Macedonians any more. Give my command to another, for I cannot, I will not, lead an army into battle against a civilized nation so long as the Gauls survive. I am not the young man I once was, but I swear before Jupiter Optimus Maximus that I shall see a world without Gauls before I take my final breath."
Senator Augustus Verginius
