Even if you're at Dairy Queen eating a gut bomb, you feel better about your poor lapse in judgment if you're reading.

    <body><![CDATA[I'm so glad a coworker found one of these editions in a giveaway stack at work and brought it to my attention.  While, of course, there were some that weren't of that much interest to me, the majority were excellent and provided a great break between chapters of other books I was reading.
