I either a) enjoy it and will recommend it or 2) I will not enjoy it, not finish it and forget about it. <BR/><BR/>I do recall some books I was forced to read in college that would fall closer to (2) that (1) but I can't remember what they are.Jamie Eyberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05875759697016701358noreply@blogger.com
