The Art of War - Thomas Cleary, Sun Tzu
2:00 am 1 January 1978
Inferno - Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle Niven and Pournelle rewrite Dante as a pulp SF novel. Well, it would perhaps have been funny as a short story, but as it was I just felt appalled after a while.

I wonder which level of Hell they're going end up in for doing this? My guess is the Tenth Bolgia of the Eighth Circle ("various sorts of falsifiers: alchemists, counterfeiters, perjurers, and impersonators"). Any other suggestions?
