The 50th Law, Robert Greene. Of course you should read 48 Laws first.

I would consider this a warning sign for a newlywed.

Spending any time reading.

These are the last days of your life that you'll have porn style sex available to you. I suggest you use them wisely.

:lol: I am all for having porn style sex as much as possible, but even if you have it every day there are still other hours in the day left.

Couple of sports books that I just finished and were both pretty good. One on One by John Feinstein and The Bad Guys Won by Jeff Pearlman

Ask TM about the wonderful world of amore once that first child is conceived.

Consider me like a person from your future sent back to warn you.

Reading, voting, and donating to charity are three things that no one should do.

DIMITRIY SAMAROV, “HACK: STORIES FROM A CHICAGO CAB” - I’ve been reading HACK (http://www.chicagohack.com) for almost as long as Samarov’s been writing it online, and it’s always been a prime example of what great writing can do: present a fun-house mirror image of society both thrilling and heartbreaking, and Samarov does this, poetically, by default. Reading HACK online was the best medicine on a homesick morning on a San Fransisco stoop. When the book came out, Samarov offered to drive signed copies around town from his taxicab and I took him up on the offer, breaking up a card game at a friend’s apartment to accept delivery. I cracked the book open to page one the next morning and I was finished by sundown. HACK presents Chicago in all its humor and sadness, and if you’ve lived here long enough, you know every character that makes his or her way into Samarov’s cab and his stories.

I believe you may know it as War and Peace.
