The Seducer's Diary- Soren kierkegaard
No this isnt some "pick up women" book, but if you love women like i do, and love the study of the mind then this is a must read. The diary of a man who masters the art of making a girl fall in love with him is found by the philosopher Kierkegaard -
Think and Grow Rich-napolen hill...its as good as the bible..will change your entire way of thinking
I do co-sign this book, its really amazing but...*sigh* the person who recommended me to read this book (Some high up suit at 21 century realty) also said this was the bible of business, that is merely because one of the prints of this book has the appearance of the bible. I would have called the guy out on it, but this was around the time i was getting into reading books, so i just shut up and wrote down the titles and authors of most of his books and thought "What a sucker, he has no idea who hes giving this knowledge too!"
That not withstanding he also recommended me to read "The outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell -
The autobiography of Malcolm X is like my bible.

The Secret Relationship Between Blacks and Jews - Volume 2 - This book chronicles the post slavery and Reconstruction experience of Black America. It shows step by step how the Southern Jewish community led the charge to dismantle and stifle black progress during the reconstruction era and return them to the shackles of neo-slavery(share cropping and plantations stores), after Blacks had built over 60 independent towns after Slavery and had even elected their own candidates to government. It shows how the Compromise of 1877, which was backed by Southern Jews and Gentiles basically dismantled all black progress and gave whites in the Deep South carte blanche to terrorize blacks, by destroying their towns, lynchings, and other atrocities.
This is not a cheap, racist, rant type of book. It is a very scholarly work that has over 1800 sources that are cited from Jewish Rabbis, Historians, Scholars, as well as actual newspaper and journal quotes and writings from that time period.

What would you know about anything when you say one thing and then refuse to answer for this
If Islam has no effect on women’s status, why is the position of women in the Middle East worse than in any other part of the world?
I guess it depends on what you mean by worse. If you think being turned into a glorified play thing for men, and treated like a ? , being ? , battered, and disrespected, likely to be divorced and left alone, with the freedom to spit out murdered fetuses on a metal table because she let some herpes infested pit bull nose having muhfuka run up in her, with 4 kids by 5 different fathers because one child is the result of two sperms from a train that was posted on stankbox.com is better than a woman who will have a stable home with her family intact who may have a little less license and formal education and has to cover herself, then hey I guess............
There is pros and cons to both. By the way, Muslims have had female heads of State. How about you? -

It was a good book but I remember there was one boring chapter devoted to calculating evolutionarily stable 'strategies'. I skipped ahead, I don't think I ever finished that one.
I can't believe I forgot to add Dreams From My Father by Barack Obama.
I still prefer fiction, especially science fiction. -
Black Mass by John Gray.
Here's a summary from Amazon:
Some readers will see pessimism where others see sober appraisal in Gray's antiutopian argument that we must reconcile ourselves to a world of multiple truths and incompatible freedoms, where there is no overarching meaning and human values and desires can never be fully harmonized. The views that history progresses toward perfection and the millenarian faith in human salvation—both rooted in abiding Christian myths—are as tenacious as they have proven destructive, the renowned British political theorist and critic argues. Building succinctly on arguments developed in his previous work (including Two Faces of Liberalism and Al Qaeda and What It Means to Be Modern), Gray traces the course of apocalyptic-utopian politics from early Christianity through its secular variant in the Enlightenment and into modern political thought from Marx to Francis Fukuyama, the French Revolution to radical Islamism. Centrally, he assails the contemporary American right (and staunch neoconservative fellow traveler Tony Blair), which after 9/11 advanced into the mainstream the utopianism previously confined to the extreme right and left. His eloquent and illuminating attack also challenges a notion common to the liberal establishment: that history moves inexorably toward the universal application of U.S.-style liberal democracy. He calls it a delusional article of faith that, like the utopian variants before it, easily justifies violence in the name of a greater destiny.
If that sounds complicated it's because it's a very, very content heavy book. Bascially it' about the danger of utopian thinking. -

Right now I'm reading Prometheus Rising by Robert A. Wilson. It's about the human brain and how we think, why we think, and how we can change our thought process which would ultimately change our actions for the better. It's very stimulating. I plan to finish it today.
Here is how Wikipedia describes Prometheus Rising:
Prometheus Rising by Robert Anton Wilson is a guide book of "how to get from here to there", an amalgam of Timothy Leary's 8-circuit model of consciousness, Gurdjieff's self-observation exercises, Alfred Korzybski's general semantics, Aleister Crowley's magical theorems, Sociobiology, Yoga, Christian Science, relativity, and quantum mechanics amongst other approaches to understanding the world around us. It claims to be a short book (nearly 300 pages) about how the human mind works and how to get the most use from one. Wilson describes it as an "owner's manual for the human brain".
