Über meine Bibliothek
Cultural-historical immersion: non-system/theory based and preferably contemporary (but non-concurrent writers sometimes accepted). Designed to contribute to understanding of life and thought of the period; difficult to decipher accounts or myths discouraged. Examples: Panchatantra; Gernet's "Daily Life in China on the Eve of the Mongol Invasion, 1250-1276", etc.

War: military theory, history, and reconstructions, as well as officer training. Probably will go through many listed here: http://www.cgsc.edu/carl/resources/biblio/milhist.asp

L'etat est mort, vive l'etat: extending Piore--Sabel to the state.

Integrated skepticism, complexity, decision-making: must be practical, no academic philosophy. Kimura's neutral theory, David Stark, etc.
Über mich
Emily and Ahmed like to read ancient literature, non-stylized histories, period writings, and non-popular fictions to each other while driving, in bathtubs, in lawnchairs, on iPod Touches, and elsewhere. Emily yells at Ahmed for having almost as many books checked out from the voluminous Ohio State University Library (and, through OhioLink, all the college and governmental libraries in the great state of Ohio) as we own, but Ahmed just thinks of Roger Bacon's observation: "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested."
