| This book is what is guiding me right now. I hope you were able to recognize which mouse you are ( because everyone is at least one of the mice) and make the adjustments accordingly. Don't be that mouse that nearly starves to death waiting for the cheese to return, because it won't. I read this book faithfully every three or four months to make sure my head is together business wise/vision. I read the poetry of Kahlil Gibran "The Prophet" every two months to maintain my spiritual sanity. Sorry about the long post. I am excited that you read "Who Moved My Cheese" because this book when used right is incredible. |

| It IS incredible! I wish I could have read it a lot sooner, but the timing is right for it right now. It makes things so much simpler. Amazing when its compared to the music industry! Gonna do an article on it. I take life so much lighter now because of this book. The quotes were really good too. |

At different times in my life, I saw myself in all 4 characters. Now that my awareness is raised, I know which ones NOT to be.
I'm trying to tell all the people I can about it - especially people that can benefit from it.

| I skimmed through Midnight by Sistah Souljah and was not feeling it. It read like a woman writing for a man, but wants a to really believe this is a man's story. I noticed there were no reviews on the book jacket either. So, you might wanna get the paperback version instead of pay $20+ for the hardcover. I haven't heard from people that finished it, but some that are reading it...agree. Book added to my list - GRACE AFTER MIDNIGHT (by Snoop from The Wire) - I skimmed through this and I will definitely get this soon. She definitely has a story to tell (didn't know she was a crack baby born prematurely and cross-eyed...a lot she has overcame). It actually is written very gracefully...poetic kind of feel to the wording. |

| i have always liked who moved my cheese. i only read it once, like eight years ago or something like that, but it was simple and bold enough to stick with me. |

| i wish i would have read the small review about midnight before i bought it. i haven't started it yet. right now i'm ready harry potter. i'm on book three. it's easy, light, and entertaining reading and with everyting going on, i'm welcoming the escape from real reality. i'm amazed with jk rowlings' mind so far. i see the story unfolding and i wonder how she started. did she know from the beginning what the ending would be? or did the story unfold itself to her as she was writing it? _________________ alyson...

A Long Movie of Shadows...is that by Lamont Steptoe (poetry book)?
I have that...pretty good. The title alone is crazy. He has a poem in there that is like a premonition of the Hurricane Katrina tragedy. |
