Buy, Lie, and Sell High: How Investors Lost Out on Enron and the Internet Bubble

2 reviews
D. Quinn Mills, Daniel Quinn Mills

Pearson Education, 2002

Good look at what went wrong during the Internet bubble
Buy, Lie, and Sell High provides an interesting look at the Internet bubble and what caused it. It was a perfect storm of greedy people with little to no business experience, combined with unethical accounting firms, loose federal regulators, new technologies, and a hungry public looking to make a quick dollar. While the book has ?Enron? in the title, there is not a whole lot about Enron in ...

My Bible
Mr. Quinn's best work yet. All the pages in my book are dog egged and most of the text highlighted. Everyone needs to read this book!

Beyond Civilization: Humanity's Next Great Adventure

Daniel Quinn

Three Rivers Press, 2000

A book worth having, reading, and re-reading.
The fact that "Beyond Civilization" begins with a fable that captures the entire essence of what's wrong with our civilization is an absolute winner in my eyes. I read this book with pleasure. Like Ishmael, Quinn's other winner, I could not help but experience the ambivalence of getting angry about our human backwardness, yet encouraged to keep myself from falling into the traps of "Mother ...

Read This, You'll Never Know How Much It Would Have Changed You If You Don't
All I can say is: read it, you'll love it! (as well as learn more than you probably learn in a year of science class, change the way you think about the world, have a better understanding of what nature really is, be highly entertained, want to gather everyone you know and read them entire chapters [or the whole book!] be recomending this book like crazy...you get the idea)

Law of Life
This is a short book which is full of wisdom and thoughts to ponder. Adam tells his son after teaching him what he knows about the Law of Life,"If any man tells you he knows the whole of the Law of Life or that he can encompass it in words, that man is a fool or a liar, because the Law of Life is written in the universe and no man can know the whole of it. If ever you're in doubt about the ...

Providence

Daniel Quinn

Bantam, 1996

A New Level
_Providence_ takes _Ishmael_ to a whole new level by explaining what you can do with yourself after _Ishmael_. Quinn explains that the reason for this work is to fill the void that _Ishmael_ leaves: if it shattered your beliefs (in a good way, of course), _Providence_ gives you something to take its place. After reading Quinn's first four books, this was welcome, because for me, it fills the ...

Ishmael: An Adventure Of The Mind And Spirit
Ishmael by Daniel Quinn ***** Ishmael is a stunning narrative on the way things came to be. A story of awareness and philosophy; the way things are and the way things could be. A wonderfully heart-warming, and heart-wrenching tale of acceptance and tolerance. Ishmael is a Gorilla, who can communicate with humans. Those who want to communicate with him anyway. Sounds a but Peter Pan I know ...

Another Excellent Daniel Quinn Book
I think this was my 6th or 7th Daniel Quinn book and I found it to be very helpful, entertaining, and enlightening. It is very helpful to be sort of "walked through" his thinking process, and I think about this book often.

Ishmael review
The book came in a timely mannner in excellent condition. I thought both the purchase price and shipping costs were reasonable and definitely better than the college bookstore's pricing.

Broken Promises: An Unconventional View of What Went Wrong at IBM

1 review
Daniel Quinn Mills, G. Bruce Friesen

Harvard Business School Press, 1996

What Happened to IBM?
This book presents one viewpoint on IBM during the 1980s and 1990s. The authors claim that a choice of IBM "could not be faulted" (p.9). [Was that because IBM, unlike some competitors, did not offer kickbacks to customers?] The authors claim IBM broke its promises of high-quality technology and excellent service to customers, and job security to its employees. But no company can guarantee jobs ...

The Holy

45 reviews
Daniel Quinn

Zoland Books, 2006

A Daring Novel
This is perhaps Quinn's most daring book to date. Ishmael, The Story of B, and My Ishmael highlighted problems with the way we treat the Earth, how salvationist religions encourage us to use up the planet, and how poor our educational system really is. The Holy goes back to the subject of religion, introducting old gods who are still as important to the Earth and our society as they ever were ...

wonderful
I absolutely loved this book, at first I couldn't get into it but then it sucked me in. The mystery unfolds at a great pace, truly amazing. The story is wonderful. The ending disappointed me slightly but so do most endings, however as a whole you will love this book.

Great Book
I LOVED this book. The introduction is the best part. It makes the rest of the book so much more fascinating.

One Man Tango
I really enjoyed this book by Anthony Quinn. At first, I was put off by the way his thoughts jumped around, but in retrospect, I realize that this was just his way of getting his point across, and I became mesmerized by his thoughts and the disparity of his early years. Mr. Quinn did not flower his book with how great he was, or even sound like a celebrity, in the description of his life. In ...
