Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki.
It advocates financial independence through investing, real estate, owning businesses, and the use of finance protection tactics.
"The poor and middle class work for money. The rich have money work for them."

It's alright, another scumbag republican offering his view on why people don't become wealthy, but never offering concrete advice as where to start.

You'll definitely like the RP book.

That's a book I would take a while to read because of the writing style.  You don't just zoom through it so to speak.

Yeah, compared to a casual novel it takes a while. But speaking of philosophers, Plato is quite easy to read. Niggas like Kant, Fichte and especially Hegel can be a bitch to read.

True.  I haven't read any political philosophy in years.  I may have to change that.

Mob Star - Life of John Gotti
The God Delusional by Richard Dawkins
Gaspipe - Confessions of a Mafia Boss

The God Delusional?  Why does that sound familiar?  The other two sound like they would be interesting.

It's "Delusion" really, very interesting book though, worth reading IMO. I'm actually reading Dawkins' "The Ancestor's Tale" at the moment, but it'll take some time to get through that big muhfucka.

Tolstoj's "Anna Karenina;"
Dostojevski's "Crime And Punishment;"
Michael Ondaatje's "Divisadero"

A friend of mine fucked up my copy of Anna Karenina while I was half way in it, so I had to stop reading that for now (he practically ripped it apart with his uncontrolled reading habits, lmao).

Yeah, I am. I never needed a drivers license (and I still don't), but it will come in handy sometime. I'm the oldest student of my instructor. He always calls me Grandpa because I drive so slow ;D


And lol @ the smile for reading Anne Frank... :P

I have a lot of WW2 movies, but I never read this book... it's about time I start to read it :)
