I just started A Mighty Fortress, the fourth and most recent novel in David Weber's Safehold series. The third book (By Heresies Distressed) ended what was more or less the first "arc" of the storyline, so I'm curious to see where this one goes.

Have you read Pressfield's Tides of War yet? That one's probably my personal favorite of his, even ahead of Gates of Fire.

No I have to get all my pressfield books from the library and I don't think they have it. After seeing what it is about I may buy it.

My father is reading last of the amazons and hunting rommel so we will see how those go.

Lao Tzu again, thinking about a Spring/Autumn or Warring States boardgame with philosophers roaming the map affecting the states they settle in, and armies that eat one a village per turn (so war is really disasterous).

How to embody Chinese philosophical principles in a board game? The game that can be played is not the eternal game...
