I have a copy of Le Morte d'Arthur that a friend of mine gave me for my birthday earlier this month and a bunch of technical manuals on military tactics that I scavenged from a dead scientists library. I believe those are the only books I own that I haven't actually read.


No, wait. I own a copy of "The Song Of Roland" and I haven't read that either.

You should read the Song of Roland if you want to understand contemporary european politics
