Let's Hear It For Prince

The Prince, that is. By Niccolo Machiavelli. Over at Samizdata, Andy Duncan reviews the book and approves.

I read it in college and have based my view of foreign policy on it. I liked it so much that I was going to name my first cat Niccolo Machiavelli (Mach for short), but I got a girl kitten instead (Dominique Francon, natch).

On a more somber note, Andy calculates the number of books a person can read in a lifetime at 8000. How limiting. Especially since I am not on pace and because I already have 400 of the remainder picked out, purchased, and on my to-read shelves. It's like staring mortality in the face.
