What book are you reading?

The best version for me to understand Quran... its with me all the time, next to bed, when i go to sleep or wake up, a little bit...

 
John Mearsheimer "The Tragedy of Great Power Politics"
изображение_2023-12-28_184418486.png

Some points from the book:

1) Great power is a country that has a military that can at least exhaust the strongest state in the system (USA)

2) Morgentau: Great powers are inherently aggressive because of their will to power.

3) Waltz: Great powers are inherently aggressive because they want to survive. Great powers fear each other. Great powers can never be sure about intentions of other Great powers who have offensive military capabilities

4) Power of a country depends on the size of its population and the level of its wealth. Great powers fear populous states with rapidly expanding economies

5) Big population is needed for raising big armies and big population can produce large GDP

6) Foundation of military power is ground force, with navy and air force supporting it

7) Great powers think about conquest and of how to prevent other Great powers from gaining power- the best defense is a good offense

8) USA doesn't conquer other countries because of separating power of water

9) While all Great powers are wealthy states, not all wealthy states are Great powers.

10) Mobilizable wealth is different from ordinary wealth. Mobilizable wealth means ability to produce weapons. Soviets produced more weapons and had more divisions and their divisions were better equipped than Nazi Germany's army, despite Germany having 3 to 1 advantage in wealth in 1941- Soviet economy was better organized for producing weapons than Germany's economy

Also recommend "World Order" by Henry Kissinger

I have wanted to buy this book for months. I better not get scammed. Also, since I am buying the limited-edition version of this book, the cover better look cool af.

@RescueRanger After hours of research I managed to find an interesting enough book for myself. Sadly it is unavailable at both Liberty Books and Readings; however, its sequels are available at both like wtf! Can you contact your friend at Liberty Books and ask him about Wool by Hugh Howey?
 
I have a focus problem, which makes me read several books at the same time. These are the 3 books that I'm currently reading.

I don't feel like buying No Longer Human right now but I definitely will buy it at some point. I strongly urge all depressed people to stay as far away from this book as possible. This book can make the reader commit suicide.

I want a dystopian/post-apocalyptic survival novel with horror and mystery elements. The best choices for me are Metro 2033 and Wool. There is no way I will ever find Metro 2033 in Pakistan and I can't seem to find Wool. I think I should wait for now and finish the books that I already have.

A book called The Three-Body Problem is also on my cards but I am afraid of reading this book anytime soon. I need a much deeper grasp of literature to fully appreciate such a book. This book and its series are considered by many to be one of the greatest Chinese and Sci-Fi literature of all time. Netflix is also making a series on this.
 
If anyone here is interested in audio books, I strongly recommend listening to this master piece:
