I bought the one that this thread was so crazy about, by Harrison Roth. I was deluded into believing that it was a good read, and easy to understand <vbg>. Not to this hayseed, it ain't! By the time I finish it, I feel like I will deserve an MBA or something. At the rate I'm going, I probably could have earned an MBA. I'm trying in my mathematically-impaired way to determine if the effort invested in reading and learning and implementing will provide sufficient returns. I know that's not much of a recommendation, but after the utter lucidness of the Gorilla Game, I was depressed. Understand that I use Quicken to balance my checkbook.
LOL about the wife and books! My wife, for example, is so sick and tired of my books cluttering up every flat surface I can find to stack them on, that she is allowing me to turn the family room in our new house into my library! Sadly, it has to double as my office. I was really hoping to sit around in a velvet smoking jacket and gaze about my vast collection, while my loyal hound rests at my feet.

PS I DO buy every book I read, and more than a few that I don't ever finish. I'm hoping that eBook thing takes off, if only so I can preview and weed out a lot of the crap that I've bought over the years. |
