Hi X, Well I finally picked up a copy of Sun-Tzu's "The Art of War" at Barnes and Noble yesterday. I've seen a lot of quotes here from it and since we seem to be in a perpetual state of war, at least that's what Bush says anyway. :(. I thought I might as well learn about it <ng> . Plus it was on the sale table. 7.98..<g> Also grabbed Bryson's "In a Sunburned Country" Read it before on loan from a friend and loved it. So when I seen it on the sale table for 4.98, I couldn't pass it up for my library. Already reread some passages from it. One of my favorite travel writers.. And then my main purchase and goal, not on the sale table <g>, was an InsightGuide to Argentina (I really like the InsightGuides for travel btw). I want to visit there so much, I can taste it. And the movie, Evita a few years ago really whetted my appetite, <g> IMO, she is one of the most fascinating women of the last century, a beautiful populist. When I was real little, I can remember my dad talking about her, He liked beautiful populists too. <g>. But I digress. That country has so much to see and do, from cosmopolitan Buenos Aires to great and spectacular natural attractions, Iguazu Falls, the Patagonia, Mt Aconcagua, the highest point in the Americas and on and on.. I better stop. I'm just dreaming but maybe this winter :). m
