I laughed, I cried. What and exciting 2 minute journey the book preview on Amazon was. :-) Thanx

It reminds me of the 500 page tome I just read - Tony Schwartz "What Really Matters" - only shorter.

check this linked list - "Silence of the Clams" ...

Everyone always wonders where my name comes from.

I highly recommend the book. Did Amazon's preview have the part where the Clam decides to find meaning in live by converting to Islam, renames himself Malik Al-Shabar (or Shabazar, I don't have it in front of me) Abdul, only to convert back because he can't find the direction toward Mecca and is "unwilling to worship a god who mocks him."

That was one of my favorite parts of the book. Incidentally, my Muslim friends all liked it too, because they were certain it was making fun of the Nation of Islam, which, apparently, is considered lower than dirt among more orthodox Muslims.
