Well, I agree, and I too read BE when I was young. (and liked it) But I think the point is that the book barely makes the threshold for memorability since it is pretty well crap from beginning to end, and would be completely forgotten if not for the efforts of "those who purchase the same book over and over to achieve an end". You are aware of their system? And so, how old is Mitt Romney anyway? Don't you think he is old enough to have grown a sense of taste? And just where does the "crap threshold" lie? I'd mark it above BE. xponent Opinions Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
