You must read #1
It's the only one that I have read. I have read four books of the trilogy.

No, no. She (and you) must read #2.
It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen. It's [link|http://www.online-literature.com/orwell/1984/|online], so there's no excuse. :-) Cheers, Scott.

Right now I'm re-reading all my psychotherapy texts.
I been doing crisis work for so long I'm worried that my other skills have gotten a little rusty. I'm great at slapping on the psychological bandaid- now I have to focus on what to do when the bandaid is ready to come off. I start my job next week. The dictum "First, do no harm", is running through my head, as is the prayer, "please God, dont let me f*ck anyone up".

as long as the do no harm mantra is there you'll be alright
you must be a good listener to be in the field so thats a plus. Just dont end up with a lot of substance abuse clients, they are usually boring and hard to focus on,

Yeah, I'll be okay.
I'm very aware that clients are consumers who will pay a lot of money for my services. I want them to feel it was money well spent.

I like that prayer.
Terse, pithy, dense* and heartfelt. You sound like one of the good ones.
*Dense as in high content per word.

Re: You must read #1
For geek factor, yes, #1 is a requirement. However, I think that 1984 and Brave New World are much more important on the must-read scale.
