Especially from fish

New slabs?

You might be right!

Read the book and be done with it, or go back and read it again and again and again!

You can't 'clip' a book unless you get permission from the counsel. It is obvious this is a 'made' book. Remember Pesci in Goodfellas? Allegedly he clipped an Amazing Fantasy 15 without permission.

Next thing you know, he will be 'wacking' the book!

Book looks like complete crap

Sometimes your funny! but the company you keep

So let me get this straight You got $160 worth of free books, in which seller clearly said "Merry Christmas" and you didn't say thanks? Then started a thread on a comic book forum complaining about it? I have one question If someone saved your life, would you go home and give it some thought before saying thanks?

I would have to say things have balanced out a bit, people want to see a more realistic hero that they can relate to, for example "Beverly Hills Ninja". The first time I watched it I said to myself "Yeah, that could be me swinging around giant fish and eventually taking down bad guys, just as long as I take my heart medication first!". Well they still have The Rock and he is hyper masculine I guess.

That really sucks man! Is CGC taking any accountability or will they be doing anything?

Is there a reward for being the last post in a thread before it gets locked?

What's next for this thread?

I can't disagree with you. This is a good thread to Help Cap with organizing his bookshelf and what books he should put on it, don't you think? “All men dream: but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds wake up in the day to find it was vanity, but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act their dreams with open eyes, to make it possible.”― T.E. Lawrence, Seven Pillars of Wisdom: A Triumph

I'm not really into the old guard Greek philosophy to be honest, but I did like Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. Emotional restraint and the ability to respond with reason rather then reacting to every little thing makes sense doesn't it?

Sweet book! Why slab it? Read it over and over again enjoy it!

I didn't notice a poetry section. A lot of good American poets and philosophers you could fill a book shelf with Walt Whitman Ralph Waldo Emerson Henry David Thoureau And you need an autobiography section too Malcolm X Mohandis Ghandi- My Experiments with truth Long Walk to Freedom- Nelson Mandella The Gulag Archipelago- Alexsandr Solshynetsyn And some Controversial books too (PM for details) Oh and you definetly need Seven Pillars of Wisdom- T.E Lawrence On War- Karl VonClausewitz Art of Modern Warfare- (Sun Tzu's Art of War in modern theory)

Virgil's Aeneid was an amazing book (As long as you get the prose translation) and I think you mean Dante, his divine comedy was great too. All of them are kind of like sequels to the Illiad and the Odyssey, Epic poetry!

He just has that "Tough-Guy" Persona that he doesn't take no guff from anyone

I love Sam Elliot! Tombstone Big Lebowski But my fav Character he plays is in We were Soldiers

That first one looks a little suspect, but the second one looks okay. Thanks

I need a good movie Any recommendations?

Hmmm Didn't hear very good things about Andy McNab, but that is one hell of a sexy looking book shelf, very color coordinated.

I think it looks great! You definitely want to put your best books where they are going to garner the most attention and make you look the most sophisticated and having the philosophy books right in the middle seems like your best bet, but I would switch trade paper backs with Encyclopedias and absolute editions with History books. Speaking of philosophy, what have you read? I have read quite a bit in my life (alot of time on my hands) I'd have to say my favorite philosopher has to be Frederich Nietzsche, maybe followed by Sartre or Descarte, I'm a pure existentialist, more on the side of Atheism (Why I enjoy Nietzsche so much) but Descarte was quite captivating to. I did enjoy Critique of Pure reason and how it transformed western philosophy. Regarding history I loved Eisenhower's Crusade in Europe, touching how he said "We fought the wrong enemy" In reference to the war to come (At least in a cold war sense) with the Soviet Union. Have you ever read "The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" By Edward Gibbon? (Very Good)
