For my book club. A very interesting book, but the thesis pretty much says it all - did it really have to be that long? Was it proving anything different in that process? This was one of those books that I felt that the whole thing was interesting, but had I put it down half way through, I wouldn't have missed out on a whole lot.

Yeah, I actually did put it down, and was happy to hear you tell me that it doesn't really go anywhere. Disappointing.
