Mr. Ford:
Mea culpa. I've never read any Ambrose, so I incorrectly assumed it was fiction for some reason. A brain rasberry, as one might say.
Mitch,
The previous version of the list included a bit of fiction, including the "Red Badge of Courage" and some Stephen Ambrose, I think.
Alas, science fiction is no longer officially sanctioned by the United States Marine Corps.
The Corps has a required reading list, which formerly included "Starship Troopers" and "Ender's Game".
The most recent version of the list strips those two titles out.
A link right up yer alley: Crocheting the Lorenz Manifold.

Leah,
At first glimpse, my addled brain translated your quote from above as:
"In the game of love, the one who wins loves twins."
Which, upon further reflection, didn't sound like too bad of advice, actually ...
Best,
Joel
