why would you burn the book on the fire? in frustration or because it is hardly worth reading from a perspective of wasting ones time or the contents are rubbish?

enquiring minds want o know......................

oh, sorry - I was checking the price on amazon just now and found this review...

      By  GLB "A reviewer"<http://www.amazon.com/gp/pdp/profile/ANHDUL6XQJN36/ref=cm_cr_rdp_pdp> 

This book is a distillation of various other author's views and opinions on the topic. Every 2'nd page is a quotation of someone else's opinion and the authors save their bland self opinions for Chap. 10! So if you want the gist of their argument then fast forward to C.10 and save yourself the boredom of reading the opinions of countless others on this topic plus masses of padding and irrelevant data. A classic study of how to write a book using the views of others and actually writing 1 of 10 chapters yourself! A massive cop out if ever I saw one!!! 

nuff sed!

thanks

  Salaams or Greetings,
                                 sat here trying to remember who it was that said 'Greetings' I remember Frankie Howard and the Fonze but I'm sure someone said it in a menacing manner. Anyway that said, re Greenspan, I'm currently reading a book lent to me with the sole purpose of winding me up! I've been going on about the advent of today's money crash and housing market bubble for years saying its got to end in tears blah blah blah, anyone with a modicum of common knows as well, what I didn't know was what exactly was fueling it and by whom and for why. The book called 'The Gods That Failed' spells it out for us all to cry over, its by Larry Elliot & Dan Atkinson and exposes the corruption including that of Greenspan, certainly worth borrowing but not buying because if this book was mine after completion of readng I'd burn it on the fire!!!!!!!!!! Oh its not a conspiracy theory either, just the facts that people have written down as they happened and why!
                                 Re meat frozen or otherwise, using Lidl as I do now it is surprising just how many miles the meat gets in but I'm afraid I've reached the point where I think 'sod it' I have to eat. it reminds me of when I worked in Aalborg, some three months, new tonnage for Townsend Thoresen. it was impossible to ger a decent piece of bacon anywhere and after complaining and whinning it was eventually explained to me that it was all exported! What really pisses me off is not being able to track down exactly where other commodities are made in Europe and whats more trying to get something replaced or repaired, I realise we are supposed to live in a throw away utopia but it has now reached ridiculous proportions Well I've had my grissly moan for today, thanks for listening.
                                                                BR Fred
