In Brooklyn he meets his nephew, Tom, whom he has not seen in several years. Tom has seemingly given up on life and has resigned himself to a string of meaningless jobs as he waits for his life to change. They develop a close friendship, entertaining each other in their misery, as they both try to avoid taking part in life.

If that's as tough a read as Foucault's Pendulum, you're in for a treat.. Damn I'm glad I'm through with that one..

Haven't read The name of the rose yet, and I don't think I'll start it soon either.

Well all I have is time, which is why I decided to go with Eco. No wussy shit for me!

re-reading this.

Amazon.com
The average person's attention span lasts about 30 seconds. That means first and immediate impressions count, and big. In this modern-day update of Dale Carnegie's classic How to Win Friends and Influence People, former fashion photographer Nicholas Boothman instructs you in how to mold those 30 seconds to your greatest advantage and connect with others at business and social functions.

Boothman, now a lecturer and licensed master practitioner of neurolinguistic programming (the art and science of how the brain affects human connections), says that the key to making others like you quickly lies in establishing a rapport: you have to find out what you have in common or, if you seemingly have nothing in common, purposely try to become like the other person for a short time. He then goes on to offer simple techniques for getting a rapport going: adopt a positive attitude; make sure your words, tone, and gestures are all saying the same thing; synchronize your attitude and body movements to those of another person's (which makes the person feel comfortable with you--although he or she may not know why); and ask lots of open-ended questions. Boothman also describes how to figure out a stranger's favored sense for receiving information about the world--some rely on visual cues, others on auditory or kinesthetic (touch) input--and use it to your best advantage.

If discovering how to connect with others is the secret to business and life success, as Boothman contends, then employing the strategies in this book will make you instantly likeable and give you a leg up on the competition. --Nancy Monson

Product Description
Whether selling, managing, negotiating, planning, collaborating, pitching, instructing-or on your knees with a marriage proposal-the secret of success is based on connecting with other people. Now that connection is infinitely easier to make through Nicholas Boothman's program of rapport by design.

HOW TO MAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU IN 90 SECONDS OR LESS is the work of a master of Neuro-Linguistic Programming whose career is teaching corporations and groups the secrets of successful face-to-face communication. Aimed at establishing rapport-that stage between meeting and communicating-HOW TO MAKE PEOPLE LIKE YOU focuses on the concept of synchrony. It shows how to synchronize attitude, synchronize body language, and synchronize voice tone so that you instantly and imperceptibly become someone the other person likes. Reinforcing these easy-to-learn skills is knowing how to read the other person's sensory preferences-most of us are visual, some are kinesthetic, and a minority are auditory. So when you say "I see what you mean" to a visual person, you're really speaking his language. Along the way the book covers attitude, nervousness, words that open a conversation and words that shut it down, compliments, eye cues, the magic of opposites attracting, and more. It's how to make the best of the most important 90 seconds in any relationship, business or personal.

That deserves a bit of redhead respect.. The books I'm reading usually go deeper than, say, Dan Brown as well (no wussy shit indeed), but Foucault's Pendulum was just a bit too much for me. I might have picked just the wrong book from his bibliography, though.

Let me know how you like it..

Yeah it's a huge book. Baudolino is half the size. I don't always read heavy books like this, I just have to mix it up once in a while. I went on a Dostoevsky binge a few years ago and had to take a break from this kinda stuff. I know I'm gonna end up doing the same with Eco.

There's so many other huge works by other authors that I want to read...it's gonna take me forever...but it's a good thing to look forward to.

GREAT BOOK...it's about all types of our "lovely" American culture, the funnier parts are obviously the ones you're more familiar with because he goes into such detail with them such as going through every season and many characters of the real world. I never knew that someone could take something like the real world or any of the other subjects and use them to perform such a critique on society. You'll end up disgusted but laughing your ass off by the end of it, trust me
