Just finished Guns of August. Great book, it really...

Wait, I'm late, aren't I?

Anyway been meaning to read this for a while so have bought. Get some discussion going. Very whimsical so far, delicious turns of phrase.

The book on Khan looks good too.

How about from the whimsical to the practical?

Discover your inner economist : use incentives to fall in love, survive your next meeting, and motivate your dentist

Have enjoyed Invisible Cities, but need to be focusing in order to read it...

Also, some cities are better than others.

This book is extremely my poo poo. I find it best to read each city as a sort of puzzle, but not one that had a definite solution but rather one that works for you. Read a few pages then start at the wall and let it settle.

Argh, see yeah this is probably true and I should tackle it again in this way.

But.

I just didn't dig it. Whether I'm too dumb, too impatient or otherwise I can't say, but it didn't connect save for a few exceptions.

Started watching Marco Polo on Netflix last night. As in, the gf turned it on while I was engaged with my iPad.

Perked up at the mention of Kublai Khan and then Marco giving a descriptive spiel.
