Hello everyone!
it's time for my quarterly "What Are You reading Now?" survey. As you know, I consider Freepers to be among the more well-read of those of us out in cyberspace. As a result, I like to find out what you're reading.
It can be anything...a technical journal, a NY TImes bestseller, a trashy pulp novel, in short, it can be anything. Please do not defile this thread by posting "I'm reading this thread". It became very unfunny a long long time ago.
I'll start. I went to the library and picked up a copy of "Sam Walton, Made In America: My Story" by Sam Walton. I'm not the entreprenurial type myself and I'm only about 20% of the way thru the book - but I find it interesting how he built Wal-Mart to be such a powerhouse of a corporation. Some of the ideas he talks about can actually be put to use in almost any type of corporate environment.
Well, what are YOU reading now?

I’m slogging through “Rainbow Six” by Tom Clancy while I look forward to “Going Rogue”(Sarah Palin) and “Broke”(Glenn Beck)
I should be reading the Bible everyday instead of wasting time on the other stuff though. (hangs head in shame)

Do you like that book? I found it was very elementary. He must have found working with Crick to be a pain in the neck.
