I recommend the Thrawn trilogy, and especially The Crystal Star. Also check out Heir to the Empire.

[DANJANOU]

"List all the books you've read." You gotta be kidding me. I just took a look at the book shelves in my place. There's over a thousand books there easy, and yes I've read every one of them, many more than once. They are also by far not everything I've read.

I believe he has those books. I just have to ask him what he's got and get him from his place.

Do you mean in our lives? I was in honors English for 6 years, and then I studied English in college. Might as well ask how many times I've drank milk.

One of my favorite books was Cold Zero, by Christopher Whitcomb. Its about a former FBI Hostage Rescue Team sniper. Talks about Waco, Ruby Ridge, and Kosovo. Very good book. I actually talked with him a few times, and now he works for CNN.

I could post quite a list but almost all of them were against my will since i had to read them for school.(and most of them sucked by the way)

Only book that i can think of right now that i read on my own and enjoyed was Hatchet by Gary Paulsen. Good book.

[mobster]

My only advice to you is follow your heart.
Yes that sounds gay, but it worked for me...I so wanted to join but my recruiter told me my physical was just like the elderly....He said I would be kicked out within 2 fukkn weeks...bad back.
This was after 9-11.
I would have gave up my salary ($168,000.00) just to serve with you guys.
A part of me died on that day, and a part of me is still with you guys.
I will always be thankful for all our soldiers as well as the other countries patriots who have been with the US on this War.
No I've never been to Afghanistan, but I helped send Kid Rock there. And you can bet your ass the second I get a chance, I'll be on that C-130 next time it lands there.
I love you all.
Mobbie.

*scratches head* Huh???

[Trident-za]

I couldn't even begin to list them all. I read a few hundred books a year, and my wife is even worse - she must read a thousand plus books a year (and I'm not kidding - fastest reader I've ever seen. She read the entire Lord of the Rings in just over a day)
