Maybe you could put the 'best of' in your list!

[QuantumGuy → judofyr]

Military strategy? Some people have ambition of world domination I suppose but in all seriousness all you need is The Art of War. Oh yeah the link in the second computer science thread is bad.

[ceautery → QuantumGuy]

Nonsense. "A Book of Five Rings" is the strategy book for the pure pragmatist. "Art of War" is for sounding cool at parties.

[Kluny → ceautery]

Protip - if you start talking about Art of War at a party, you will not get laid. Save that for the morning after.

[taytus → ceautery]

I wonder what kind of parties are you going

[Goranek → ceautery]

You made my day :)
