Interesting? Maybe I hope not.

I had a professor on my thesis committee who used to "encourage" us never to describe anything as "interesting." He called that particular adjective a "non-word" that doesn't really describe whatever you're talking about. So his direction was to actually decide what it was you wanted to say, and say that instead. Over time I came to believe he was completely right about that. With that in mind, here's an interesting book that you can download from Netlibrary.com and listen to, in only 7 hours and 34 minutes. Well, you can download it and listen to it if you have an LFPL library card and an mp3 player (or, I suppose, a computer would do too.)

Interesting?
