Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity.
Quite ironic really :-) I've started reading this about 5 times in the last couple of years, and never get more than a few chapters in. I've even got the audio book which I've not listened to !!
I guess I'm destined to never get anything done :-)

I liked this book so much that I'm writing a screenplay for it. But I only got halfway through...the mid-point in the book is very unexpected.

Don't tell my husband. He bought two copies on the day it came out so we could read them at the same time. I barely made it through the first chapter.

loved the introduction, the first chapter was incredibly depressing, and the next couple felt way too self-important. I guess the title was well-chosen.

I don't remember the title of the book I tried to read, but I remember hating
every second of it after I bought it from this weird bible
salesman at the beach. Not only were the letters shaped funny, but the printing company
majorly screwed up and it was impossible to read double columns of text
that were printed so close together. Even the page numbering was messed
up: on the left-hand side of one page I'd see 40,514 and on the
right-hand side 999. Every time I closed the book I could never find
my place again. What a disaster!Aug 14, 2009 23:50 by sgallese -

I almost posted this for the "Have but never read" mission. It looks like it will be interesting, but I suspect it will be a lot of convincing and mildly entertaining anecdotes and discoveries etc. that will just tell me what I already know.

@mellaniet: really? I loved it!
@a_noob, @ og_reborn- It really is wonderful, and I loved what I read, and in fact I wrote my paper on how each brother exemplified a different part of the human conscience (that's why frued liked it- id, ego an superego). It was one of those books that had maybe not an entirely superfluous section, but a part that was annoying for me. That whole Christ story I couldn't get through. It's like reading every other chapter in Moby Dick- I might not get the whole experience, but I get a good experience from it. Or, in this case, I would have had I finished it.Aug 16, 2009 22:58 by merendis.

@og_reborn: Yes, I have read Animal Farm and enjoyed it very much. Part of why I haven't finished 1984 is because I (foolishly) always think that I have already absorbed the message of the book through popular culture and other extratextual sources.
