Diogenes Dec 2019 6:33pm, 6 Dec 2019 43172 posts	0 Diogenes I’ve less than 40 pages to go. A couple of thoughts: 1. No other book (apart from an office furniture catalogue) used the word ‘credenza’ so often. 2. Towards the end, Benny Shassburger tells several people “never mind” in response to a question. “Never Mind” is my next read. I’ve really enjoyed this book. It works really well, and has great heart. I like the way it describes how one comes to care for ones colleagues, even the annoying ones. I’m expecting to give it an 8. there always exceptions.

McGoohan Dec 2019 10:03pm, 6 Dec 2019 42425 posts	0 McGoohan I've changed my mind. I hated it. I've given it 1. No, make that minus 1.
