The book is very poorly written. So, just read the cover and save yourself some time. Better yet, save your money too. Let me summarize for you.
1. Tell the truth, to and about yourself and others. Don't gossip. Gossip hurts people.
2. Don't take responsibility for other's words and actions. They have nothing to do with you.
3. Ask questions and be a good listener. Don't assume you know what others want, need, or mean. (Ever heard of 'walk a mile in my shoes'?) And don't assume they know what you want.
4. Always do your best. Does this really need explanation?
Ulysses By James Joyce

1. Man walks around Dublin all day and then goes home to his wife.
2. That's it.
Apocalypse Now By Francis Ford Coppola
The DVD is very poorly made. So, just read the cover and save yourself some time. Better yet, save your money too. Let me summarise for you.

2. "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning"
3. War is insane.
The New Testament By Matthew, Mark, Luke and John

3. He comes back again.
The Old Man And The Sea By Ernest Hemingway
The book is very poorly written. So, just read the cover and save yourself some time. Better yet, save your money too. Let me summarize for you.
1. Old man goes fishing in the sea.
2. Catches a mighty big Marlin and ties it to the side of his boat.
3. The sharks eat it before he reaches the harbour.
4. He goes home and goes to bed.
I've read the book, and it won't change your life, or turn you into Gandhi, but I enjoyed it all the same, and felt that the points it made were valid. It's mostly common sense, yes, but it's the kind of common sense that isn't common enough these days!
If you do read it and like it you could check out http://www.amazon.com/Journey-Ixtlan-Carlos-Castaneda/dp/0671732463/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1212567028&sr=1-1 (Journey To Ixtlan) by Carlos Castaneda too.
I don't think much of the above review, though. Here's why...
