A tease

Saturday morning FedEx pulled up to the door, delivering a book I had been eagerly awaiting, Andrew Ross Sorkin’s Too Big to Fail. The release date is tomorrow, October 20, so even though I spent the lion’s share of Sunday engrossed in the 600-page book (well, I didn’t read the endnotes or the index) I am going to respect the release date. I will not echo Tom Wolfe’s “advance praise” of the book as “a fascinating, scene-by-scene saga of the eyeless trying to march the clueless through Great Depression II.”
