Hey Bob, Long time no see. Nice bike!
You're lookin good dude.Well, I'm nearing the end of "American Theocracy" by Kevin Phillips. I can't even begin to describe it but it's the most eye opening book I ever read.
Speaking of Chrysler, I was a Home Depot share holder for a few years and I wish Chrysler asked me for my opinion about putting Nardelli at the helm.

Snuggs09: Who was the CEO who took only one dollar as payment for his salary when Chrysler was having a bad time. I was very impressed that he would do that. I see his face but can't remember his name.
Bob Nardelli - was not a good thing by any stretch.
Heya Ooby!

Just to veer off topic a bit, there was a bood I'm sorry I wasted my time reading. It may come as a surprize considering how great the movie was but "The Dirty Dozen" was a really big let down as a book.

carenza: well,
I read a lot. whatever I can lay my hands on, I read it.
at this moment, I am reading a book from a Dutch writer.
it's a book about how to become a rat in the work arena.
the writer is a former manager and he describes how to make your way up in the company when you have to deal with people who behave as so called rats.
it's about the tricks people have in their sleeves, the games they play, how to gain power when you are just a worker under a boss who does not treat you right.
when I first started to read it, I couldn't believe my eyes.
in all the scenario's he described, I saw the movements of co-workers, bosses, and other people on the job.
he writes very vividly and leaves nothing to imagination.
a very good book, and I read a few papers every day in the hope it sinks in and gives me power to gain a better position at work.
(I am a woman in a man's world, single mum and work irregular hours, so I'll probably never promote if I don't use his techniques)

I´ve actually got two books on the go at the moment. One is Spanish recommended by a friend, El Último Encuentro by Sándor Márai, and the other is Putin´s Russia by Anna Politkovskaya. Anna was a writer, journalist and human rights activist who was murdered in 2006.

In response to: I like to hear what types of books people are interested in.
Some don't read fiction, some read only to educate themselves, others read those books I'm reading "MY FBI". It's the autobiography of Louis J. Freeh who was Director of the FBI from 1993 to 2001.
Before the FBI he was a Prosecutor for the Southern District of New York and a Federal Judge.
Freeh went up against Clinton, the Mafia, Robert Hanssen, Beltway bureaucrats and bin Laden. His Mafia experiences are most interesting.
FBI Directors aren't in office long but Freeh held the second longest tenure since J. Edgar Hoover.
Before September 11th happened, Freeh argued that al Qaeda were more than criminals and that they were an enemy force that had declared war on the United States.
So what are you reading....
