What I don't get about the kindle stuff is that it seems only marginally less expansive than the real books. I've looked up the last couple I bought on the kindle store and they would have cost MORE had I bought the Kindle editions. o_O

Can't really recommend any more german books than I already have. Can't remember the last time I've read a german book.

I got The Art Of War along with another order cos I needed something to put me in the free shipping zone. I got the Penguin Publishing edition cos it had the nicest cover and I already read the Giles translation off the internet, which you can find here: Art of War by SunTzu [SunZi] -English Hypertext
maybe you can put that on your kindle :P
They were both good as far as the text goes. Cannot recommend on the quality of translation as my ancient chinese is a bit rusty.
You can finish it in one evening, easily.

I really liked the Karl Pilkington books (Karlology, Idiot Abroad), but it's hard to recommend cos either you like that kind of humor or you don't.
