I read it like a book -- not a reference manual -- some number of months ago. As the novel progressed, I became more and more disappointed and disillusioned by what my company (at the time) was not doing correctly.

A change of company in the interim has not changed the outlook for what's being done correctly, either.

New I read the first one that way, the first time
I've read the first one multiple times. I was going through the second one with a fine-toothed comb, and lost energy to continue around 11 months ago.

It wasn't the book that was at fault. :-)

Cheers,
Ben
