Management of the Absurd

Title: Management of the Absurd Authors: Richard Farson and Micheal Crichton Paperback: 176 pages Publisher: Free Press; Reprint edition (March 13, 1997) ISBN: 0684830442 I didn’t like this book at all. It contains a number of paradoxes related to management, but there are precious few ideas about what to do about them. The book brings […]

Sapori Trattoria

Sapori Trattoria is on Halsted just south of Diversey. Its a small Italian restaurant with a reasonably diverse menu and a pretty good wine list. I had the squash soup and the ossabucco on lasagna – the food was really good but the service was terrible. I think something was wrong in the kitchen because […]

Its very much fiction – as Card writes in the end notes, the Torah includes little detail and so any undertaking like this […]
