Is it too much to ask the people recommending books to give a little background on the book? While "stop what
you're doing and buy it" sounds compelling, insult my intelligence a little and take five minutes to do a
little cutting and pasting so the rest of us sheep could have something to chew on. Who knows, we may still
buy it.
