    Ouch. Possibly the worst book I have ever...well, not read, but skimmed to the end. Definitely in my bottom five. Almost but not quite in the "so bad it's good" category.
    I enjoy being wrong too much to change my mind.

    Quite a bit of a drag. Lot of information thrown in with a very weak plot.

    You guys should really read some Sheldon and D Steele, toughens you up to cope with reading anything.

    I'm currently going through
    Van Creveld's Supplying War: Logistics from Wallenstein to Patton.

    Thought it might be a bit dry but its turning out to be an interesting read.

    Mmmmm, reminds me of Zig Ziglar book "See You at the Top" that I had to read in one of my senior management classes in my 20's.

    Between sections of working in the garden while he was at the office, cleaning one's self up to be like June Cleaver when he got home, and that having separate bank accounts was planning for failure..............

    .....................he ended up forever on my list as a demotivater.
