I'm nearly halfway through Gates of Fire. I have only had maybe two or three hours to read it. I don't want to put it down. Why must I have to go to work?!

Sweet! Keep Going Byrn...It just gets better and better!!!!! :)
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

I just finished the book I was reading (Fahrenheit 451) so now I can devote all my attention to it. I'm really excited. I read the first couple pages as soon as I bought it and I can't wait to get into it! Thanks for recommending it Fisty! :yourock:
