  So, I was shopping on Amazon, and they've got the great recommendation service. They are recommending The Lord of the Rings - The Two Towers. Now there's a story here. I've never seen any of the Lord Of The Rings movies. I've bought every Star Wars movie and seen them in the theater. I'm a sucker for Lucas, but one sucker is enough. I may go gaga for the Lord Of The Ring trilogy, but I will not until I can see all three. Just like I refuse to buy a hard back of anything in the Dark Tower series. There will be a super edition of these things containing all the cut out bits when they are done, until then I'll buy the cheap bits. (Also, I have not watched The Matrix or The Godfather. Eventually, I'll subscribe to Netflix and see if they are worth buying.) The thing is that it's been on my recommendation list a long time and it's not going away anytime soon. You would think that Amazon would try something different every once in a while.
  The really funny thing is that they recommend books. So I was surprised to see number one on my list today, Smart Women Finish Rich. I have never been, and I have no desire to ever be a woman. I had a dream once where I was turned into a woman, but that's it. It was a nightmare and probably significant of something. The fact that I woke up in a cold sweat indicates it was a nightmare or I was having menopause in the dream. Figure out what you will. (I guess this is because I DID read The Automatic Millionaire : A Powerful One-Step Plan to Live and Finish Rich, a simple book with a simple message that I do recommend.) I would recommend that you buy only the first book but not any others that follow it. They seem to be another person pimping out the franchise. Just like Rich Dad, "Read the first, no more."
  That's my recommendation. Thank you,
