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.

Diogenes Dec 2019 9:15pm, 6 Dec 2019 43181 posts	0 Diogenes 75% of people who have actually read TWCTTE have given it 8 or more on the poll. That’s a well-liked book.
McGoohan Dec 2019 9:42pm, 6 Dec 2019 42421 posts	0 McGoohan You know what... I've just checked and I gave it a 7 and I remember it more fondly than that now. So I've upped it to an 8 as well

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.
