What book are you currently reading?

Really my new thing is I'm trying to study the etymology of words.  Like, it's interesting to me when I find a word like "cotton" has Arabic roots, that the word "America" was taken from the old Keltic language and meant "warrior", or that the name "Marcus" came from the worshipping of the planet Mars as a God.   I love that.  That's my new hobby, going to the library and looking at their reference material on the origion's of words and names.

reading a book , mostly interested about books about music.. i forgot what its called. dont have the book on me. in an internet cafe right now.. but somethin like "it aint about a salary:rap race and resistance in los angeles" excellent reading material.. quite pricey though.. but has OLD school interviews with everyone before they blew up.. this islike pre 92, pre The Chronic era... like old school interviews with quik, boo yaa, kid frost, dre, ice cube, eazy e, and all that shit. Great shit.. but the book costed me like 70 bones.. and it wont really cost any cheaper than that.. i also reading the ego trip rap list book.. excellent reading materiall. not really a REAL story/book.. but has tons of knowledge... it'll striaght up increase ur knowledge on hip hop by like 2000 fold..

reading books doesnt make you smart. it just makes you a person who enjoys reading.

I don't know if reading makes one smarter, but no doubt it increases your knowledge.

true

but tis not about gettting smarter its just a form of entertainment, but true none the less.

The guy that said "The best Democracy Money can buy" - that first chapter on the 2000 election is great.  If only I could post it on here to shut some people up.

i just started reading Empire by Niall Furguson, about the british empire which was the largest empire every at its peak controling 1/4 of the world from a small country called england with very little beuracracy many countries could take note at our previous administration, promotion of free trade etc. even tho it did have its darkside which most people know about and can't be forgotten but everyone seems to forget about its positives including trying to stamp out slavery once we came to our senses and gracefully giving up our empire while others thaught to keep or increase theirs.
