That explains a lot .

about 90% of my comm'l work is ADA crap, normaly after they have been sued and settled.

I don't care for fiction anyways and most nonfiction out there is crap.

Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Maybe that's why most of your ideas come across as uninformed idiocy.

out of the top 10, only number 7 (public enemy) sounds intresting... so my statement that 90 % is crap, is true.

???

Because New York is the trusted authority on anything? There is plenty of great non-fiction out there. But just like I won't turn to NY for sane gun laws, I won't turn to NY or Oprah or any other source of idiocy for book recommendations. ???

 Much of the Fiction contains more and deeper thought than the shit you will find being pushed by the NYT, they listed both of BO's books at #1 for crying out loud.

In the Gravest Extreme - Massad Ayoob

I bought it in the early 90's and read it a couple of times. Recently, I took an out-of-state CCW class and walked out thinking, "OK, so they send me a CCW and I go to visit AZ or somewhere, then what?". I decided it was a great time to read it again. It was a good time to pick up MB's book too. I really just felt that it's a lot clearer when to use lethal force when someone kicks in your door than out of the house and that knowing when someone has overstepped the boundaries out of the house is a lot more to think about.
