I wasn't sure if this was the place to put this thread, it could go in many places, politics, paranoia, entertainment, but i decided that those that frequent philosophy would appreciate it.

I'm loving it at the moment, but take a look for yourself, and see what you think.

Very,very cool book.

Sounds looks like a very good read Zyr.

I'll give it a go after new years.

Cheers.

I am currently reading this book, it is excellent, both in the amount of thought put into the book and the amount of thought it invokes in the reader. Recommend, that I do. Heartily.

I noticed when noodling on Amazon that you could download the book in 5 PDFs... for free. There's direct links on this page (scroll down a bit).

Not a bad deal

I think this was a really intesting book (thanks for bringing it up) but the Micheal Caine quote, that just rocks and is so true on so many levels. So yeah thats it, sick quote nice refrence to the sex pistols.
