You'd think it'd be bigger

BooksThis is the synopsis from Amazon on The Art of War by Sun Tzu:
Twenty-Five Hundred years ago, Sun Tzu wrote this classic book of military strategy based on Chinese warfare and military thought. Since that time, all levels of military have used the teaching on Sun Tzu to warfare and cilivzation have adapted these teachings for use in politics, business and everyday life. The Art of War is a book which should be used to gain advantage of opponents in the boardroom and battlefield alike.

It's 68 pages. You'd think it'd be bigger.

Is it just Mr. Tzu saying, "Have bigger weapons", "Have weapons that travel further so you don't have to be so close to the bad guys", and "Hell, if none of that works, dip the pages of this book in lemon juice, charge up to your enemies and jab the book in their eyes"?

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

The Bible according to non-insane people...

BooksThe best book in a long time, The God Delusion is now available in paperback! Excellent. Now you can loan this copy to your friends and spread the good word of Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary atheist who believes there is no god because there is no proof of it and no real, reasonable reason as to why such a thing should exist.

Dawkins is great. O hear the word of the Dawkins...
