Where the red furn grows.

for some reason i always thought it would be awesome to hunt raccoons all days and sell the fur and meat.

also i love when someone bring up the topic of books and people say the books they had to read in school.

Ok, I'll be honest, I had to read of mice and men, but chekmate (the whole series of Noughts and Crosses, for that matter) was my choice. And they were awesome.

I prefer fantasy novels. Some of my favorites include The Lord of the Rings Trilogy (of course). The Sword of Truth (and it's sequels) By Terry Goodkind, and any of R.A. Salvatore's Drizz't books.

I don't like to read, but here's some audio books I have listened to that helps me play RA2.

Fooled by Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in Life and in the Markets
The E-Myth Revisited: Why Most Small Businesses Don't Work and What to Do about It
Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking
TTC Game Theory
TTC Chaos Theory
TTC Understanding Complexity
Sun Tzu the Art of War
The 33 Strategies of War

Though I wonder if anyone else who read them notice how useful they are in bot building.

Err...

Fight Club, Survivor, Lullaby, Less Than Zero, American Psycho (creepier than I expected), Slaughterhouse-Five, Breakfast of Champions, Timequake, Jailbird, Cat's Cradle, and Catch-22.

Let us see...

Moby Dick, the Dune series (though I only read the first 2 books and the one when Leto II ascends to what can only be called godhood), Lord of the Rings, The Call of the Wild, Animal Farm, most of Jules Verne... What else...

On more realistic books, I loved both Machiavelli's The Prince AND Sun Tzu's The Art of War. And yeah, I can see how that last one can be useful even here. It looks like it can be adapted to any conflictual situation.
