I just completed reviewing a friend and colleague's Masters Thesis. I'm one of the initial reviewers, so my opinions don't mean that much. They're more for her to use, if she'd like, before her committee gets it.

As for books, I recently completed "First, Break All the Rules," which was written by, Marcus Buckingham and Curt Coffman, two Gallup pollsters, about how great managers in business seem to defy conventional wisdom. I'm currently reading "The Truth About Hillary : What She Knew, When She Knew It, and How Far She'll Go to Become President ," by Edward Klein.

Kawika,

If you're curious what others here have read recently, in the Non-Diving Related Topics forum there's a thread entitled SEX!!! that covers the same ground.

Ha ha...well...I guess I must have read it wrong...but I went over to the Non-Diver Related forum & couldn't find anything entitled SEX!!!! :banghead:

Once I'm done reading :lam:
How to Pass the Humanities CLEP exam
and actually pass the test. Then maybe I can read something fun.
One of the many seedy romantic novels that has been sitting on my shelf
for Oh the last 3 years.
Getting My BA not only put a damper on reading but diving and
well any form of a social life for that matter.......

And so I'm back :banghead:

Been there, done that. My condolences to you, counselor. Every day further away from it I get, the happier I am. :banghead:

I failed to mention the following periodicals:

Mustang Times, Mustang Monthly, AOPA Pilot, EAA Sport Aviation, and National Geographic.

I read a lot, it's one of my favorite past times. When I read books, I normally read fiction or science fiction.
