[Emc-users] Book Recommendation

Rather off-topic, but I think a lot of us will feel a commonality with
the main character in
"Trustee from the Toolroom" by Nevil Shute.

Andy:

Shute was a favorite in my parents' household because of his aviation 
engineering background (like my dad). I had read "A Town Called Alice", 
"Trustee from the Toolroom," and "On the Beach" by the time I graduated 
high school. The latter so depressed me that I had forgotten the others.

Looking up Nevil Shute now, I see a quote my dad must have appropriated 
from him (of course my dad Americanized the currency): "It has been said 
an engineer is a man who can do for five shillings what any fool can do 
for a pound"

Thanks for reminding me.

Regards,
Kent
