System 370/390 JCL



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.

reading northern lights by philip pullman,there is a movie based on it called the golden compass

Good book! Although the movie sucked major donkey ass imho. The Golden Compass is also the name that book was published under in North America.

It's a trilogy, I'm actually about to finish the last book, The Amber Spyglass. Really enjoyed all of it, it's a fine and unique story, with some very controversial plot developments. At least later on in the 2nd and 3rd book.

Also, @ Tailgunner: Awesome series! A Song of Ice and Fire is truly one of the greatest series I've ever read! :) George Martin's one hell of a writer.

 

 

His Dark Materials was an excellent trilogy!  Very sad ending too :(

I don't remember though, what were the controversial parts?

Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy. By an odd coincidence, there's a quote from this book at the front of the last book I read, The Thousandfold Thought by R. Scott Bakker



"This is the deep-dish, delicious irony endured by the Nintendo stalwart: to see their platform of choice ascendant, even as their bright God turns his face away."

Tycho Brahe
