top 3 for sure

its too tough to tell whos the best because of the differences of warfare from era to era but word he is up there for sure

confederacy of dunces, raise up off me and siddhartha come to mind

[Blanco Bishop]

Art of war
Art of seduction
48 laws of power
The rise of Theodore Roosevelt
A couple of Lincoln books i forget the names to
To try men's souls

To name a few.

whos better?

ppl fail to realize that although the mongols did indeed outnumber their enemy most of the time, that was not the case on the battlefield. Mongols seperate their units in "tumens"...and they often had to rely on cunning n deception. Subedeis exploits are legendary..he did russia so dirty

On a serious note: (part of) The Bible, Tao Te Ching, the I Ching, (part of) AA book, and the book of DeMolay (masonry for young men, aged 13-21).

You can find various links to music I've done/been a part of there as well.

[Clayray]

You've read the whole bible? Props.

[theMuzzl3]

You've read the whole bible? Props.

No, I am sorry -- I have not. I should not have claimed that.

I did read part of the Gnostic Bible as well though... found some interesting things there.

My favorite book is I Ching...

and you can do I Ching (translated the book of changes) online if you punch in "I Ching online" on google, roll the dice manually or virtually; and it tells you where you are now in life, and where you are headed.

[oats]

I can confidently say I've read the bible in entirety throughout my life. But that's neither here nor there. I'll keep it to 3 fiction and 3 nonfiction.

Fiction:
Midnight's Children by Salman Rushdie
Coming Up for Air by Orwell
Ask the Dust by John Fante

Nonfiction:

Capital in the 21st Century by Thomas Picketty
The Price of Civilization by Jeff Sachs
Finance and the Good Society by Robert Shiller

These are just off the top of my head tbh, hit me up on goodreads.com if you want.

[Certain]

Catcher in the Rye is my shameless favorite. Slaughterhouse Five and Catch-22 are close.

[kannon]

Non Fiction:
Sex, Drugs And Cocoa Puffs, Chuck Klosterman
The Sex Lives Of Cannibals, J. Maarten Troost
Emergency Sex, Kenneth Cain, Heidi Postlewait & Andrew Thomson
Blink, Malcolm Gladwell
Glass Castle, Jeannette Walls
The Year Of Living Biblically, A.J. Jacobs
Zeitoun, Dave Eggers

I tend to read a lot of books with sex in the title. But none of them are about sex. But I do want to read Boink by Mary Roach. Then maybe I can add a book that's actually about sex to my list... But yeah, basically anything by Klosterman and anything by Gladwell.

Fiction:
Divine Misfortune, A. Lee Martinez
Ready Player One, Ernest Cline
Lamb, Christopher Moore

I don't read a lot of fiction...

[theMuzzl3]

Oh...

Tao Te Pooh

great one.

[Bodey]

Scar Tissue by Anthony Kiedis

Any book by Harlan Coben was awesome, mystery reads

The Pact by Jodi Picoult, fuckin disturbing shit

Wolf at the Table by Augusten Burroughs, memoir of his fucked up childhood, seriously almost cried to read what he went through

[Bodey]

Oh shit, almost forgot Strip Tease by Carl Hiason, in fact all his shit is good

[uh-oh]

whos better?

ppl fail to realize that although the mongols did indeed outnumber their enemy most of the time, that was not the case on the battlefield. Mongols seperate their units in "tumens"...and they often had to rely on cunning n deception. Subedeis exploits are legendary..he did russia so dirtyim not saying anyone was better just he is top 3 with the likes of alexander and cyrus. both earned their titles of the great.

but word the eras and types of warfare call for different shit. I favor ancient warfare mainly because of the heavy reliance on infantry.

Subedei was a fucking G. but so was julius caesar. think about the fact that caesar systematically conquered gaul. people portray them as backwards idiots today yet they were more advanced in alot of ways. if gaul itself wasnt enough he defeated one of romes greatest generals of all time in pompey as well

and then there is also scipio africanus who was a fucking g that reconquered italy from hannibal reconquered spain and then conquered carthage

cyrus the great was a fucking G

alexander conquered an insane amount of territory in like 13 years before dying at 32

also I hate on the mongols alot. I give subedei his due. its too early and I cant type like I want on this phone. I wish I had books to recommend so you could read up on others but all I know of are the original texta like the education of cyrus the grea5 by xenophon written In like 500 bc lol

[oats]

Lee Sun-Shin?

[uh-oh]

never heard of him but after a quick google the fact he took 13 ships against 133 and won is complete insanity lol

bad dude but hes an admiral which is sorta different.

but yea just kind of further illustrayes the point of there being varying degrees and levels of complete badass military commanders

once shit gets inyo AD times I personally stop caring tho and never really looked into anyone other than common knowledge

like the mongols. the moors. Charlemagne etc

seems too recent even if its a long ass time ago. and I definately stopped caring when guns and cannons came into play

george washington was a g too but word

there are countless badasses throughout history

he did so without any prior experience or training, too uh-oh

then there's Robert E. Lee, Napoleon, etc. I'm no expert, but it's cool to look back and see how battles went in real time

That movie looks fantastic. Thanks for putting me on to it. I'm going to watch it after I'm done with GOT and let you know. Any movies similar to this, and maybe Red Cliff, that I should check out?

[El Muffin]
