It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

Something like that.

Honestly, I have so many book series that I've read, I can't pinpoint just one book. Currently my favorite series is the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, but I'm also a big fan of Orson Scott Card and the late Sir Arthur C. Clarke.

"Rich Dad, Poor Dad" by Robert Kiyosaki. I don't see a point in reading for entertainment. If I am reading, it is to learn and better myself. If I want entertainment, I watch a movie.

i feel the same way. i don't think i've read a fiction based book in 15 years. every book i read in college was based on a war or time period. and the last book i read was The Loan Survivor by Marcus Luttrell...For all you military folk i highly recommend it
