Candide by Voltaire.
Nah, Red, sorry, it is a real letter actually. But is pretty good anyways. If you like Machiavelli's Prince you should get Sun Tzu's Art of War and The Thirty Six stratagems, they are awesome as far on how to understand and develop the ways to reach power and how to keep it. Chinese kids learn to repeat the 36 stratagems by heart when they are in kindergarten, and that is probably one of the reasons China is becoming the next superpower...
I am reading ASOIAF again, had to get through the first two books in two weeks through summer, as they are the worse ones. Now I am on ASoS and that book is the most awesome one. I just passed the Red Wedding, where the boring people die. And my Daenerys keeps kicking ass all over Essos. I just hope HBO stays faithful to the books for the third and fourth season. The changes they did for A Clash of Kings storyline on the second season really sucked beyond oblivion. Arya serving Tywin, Robb getting some Charles Chaplin's granddaughter nurse Jeyne instead of the plain dumb Jeyne Westerling from the book, that BS about killing Xaro because he was bedding some Daenerys maid, when in the book he is a little gay and doesn't die, that BS they did with Shae making her Sansa's maid, NO ALAYAYA (so many hot light dark skinned actresses they could have chosen...), and so on.

How are these, L3ggy? I'm a big fan of the TV show, and worry that these books wouldn't live up to my expectations...
