I just bought #74 and have not studied it yet. It was cheap $14 at Barnes and Noble. I like maps :-).

It seems to me that I've read more but I can't find them. There are also about 150 books piled in the kitchen that need to be read. They consist of biographies, foreign policy think tank books, documents about life in lovex, where lovex is any non-US country; I've concentrated on the Far East with these.

There are also more histories of more wars; and other stuff.

This list doesn't include any of the books I brought back to the dump nor the couple dozen books I got from the library. I have no idea what the breastles nor the authors are. The ones I brought back to dump were not worth keeping; if a book caused me to barf or throw it across the room or yell at the author, I did not keep it.

Now I cannot give you a quote in any of these tomes that will cite my conclusions of what I've learned so far.
