Im reading some book thats full of short stories,

and stuff like that.

I want to get that too. How is it? I play conservative and I want to learn how to bluff better. Is there stuff about that?

haven't read the book, but i heard it is good and very very long. I saw the movie, i enjoyed the movie, probably only a very small part of the book, but not sure how closely it followed the novel.
i am reading a personal finance type book. :bonk:

Just finished 47 Ronin and Musashi. Then I watched Chushingura and was disappointed by the artistic license taken. I've watched 13 episodes of Musashi NHK and I don't even recognize the characters or plot.

I coulda told you that... They interleaved Musashi's story with the rise of the Yagyu family and the Tokugawa shogunate... :)

I'm actually reading two other books in addition to the following (information I'm sharing as I find myself absorbing the material unusually well considering that I'm reading selections during the commercial breaks -- with "mute" on, of course -- of the NCAA tourney going on now):

The Rise of Modern Mythology: 1680-1860, Professor Burton Feldman and Robert D. Richardson, Jr., eds.

Great tome on myth theory.

Have you seen the recent remake of The Count of Monte Cristo? Pretty entertaining.

It's actually more pictures than text, but:

The Art and Making of Princess Mononoke

My sister has that.

I'm also reading "The Big Fat Kill" by Frank Miller. It's a graphic novel from the Sin City universe. I think it's one of the stories that made it into the movie. Damn...it looks cool too.

My current pleasure is spending time with Harry Potter and The Order Of The Phoenix.
A little magic is always a good thing. :mrgreen:
In English, Japanese etc etc.......
