Books about the FSU that you recommend to others

Russka by Edward Rutherford it's written like a James Michener novel.
Very entertaining. He writes about 2 fictional families and a fictional
town in Russia over  a period of 1800 years. You will learn the history.

Thrift Books is less than Amazon and you get hardcovers.
FSUW are not for entry level daters. FSUW don't do vague FSUW like a man of action so be a man of action  If you find a promising girl, get your butt on a plane. There are a hundred ways to be successful and a thousand ways to f#ck it up
Kiss the girl, don't ask her first.
Get an apartment not a hotel. DON'T recycle girls
