Punishment: Earth by R.A. Montgomery
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
Because none of my strategies have worked thus far, I decided to go with actual coin tosses. Yes, I dug out a penny from 1967, minted in Denver, and used it to guide me through this book.
Have you ever looked at a penny from 1967 and thought, Man, what adventures you must have had! You’ve seen so much change in the world. Maybe you were in a young astronaut’s pocket, and then that astronaut became the first person on the moon! Maybe you were at Reagan’s inauguration! Maybe you were at a Vietnam War protest!
If you’re thinking that I might be killing time here with this penny bullshit, you are totally right. This fucking penny led me through ONE decision before ending the story with me stuck in a tree, waiting on a park ranger to rescue me from a giant lizard. One decision. It doesn’t get a lot more wrong than that.
I’m beginning to feel at a loss with these books, so what I’ve done is to check out a little book called The Decision Book: Fifty Models For Strategic Thinking. Is it possible that The Decision Book will hold some keys to victory? Maybe ONE of the FIFTY keys will be one that leads through the door marked VICTORY as opposed to the unmarked door with a Trainspotting bathroom behind it?
We’ll see, readers. We’ll see.
