Listening in audio and only on disc 2 of 10 so far. I really can't stand this book! Torn on whether I should finish it (allows me to cross this off the 1001 list and there must be some reason why people like this book) or spend my time doing something less painful ... like income taxes. Yikes - so tempting to skip a few tracks...I decided not to finish this. In general I don't like these 'train of thought' meandering books and this author seems to be incredibly conceited and hates women. After I deleted this off my ipod I noticed that it's on many other lists of 'must read books'. I might pick it up later when I feel particularly masochistic...
