So I'm mostly done with "Blue Blood" and I'm done. Man, this started out with the best Chapter One. Very good book. I made it most of the way through. It should have been two books, Mr. Conlon. If you like disgusting true tales from the NYPD front line, with a little family history of a multi-generation law enforcement legacy, plus a little bit about how police work goes down, you will like "Blue Blood."
Also breezed through biz book "Cain and Abel in the Workplace" and basically, it says there are goldfish and there are sharks and one will not only always be out to eat the other but it will be the only way they operate because *they are too incompetant to do their jobs* and hence they will get caught if the goldfish are smart.
This is directly counter to my experience as someone who lives in a world of complexity and ever-shifting alliances. However, it did have some good advice in that being neutral and keeping your ears open, instead of your mouth, can keep you from being a victim. Live like you're paranoid but be supremely levelheaded, in other words, sums up the biz advice.
I just saved you from having to read the book!
