All of the stores were sent a complimentary copy of the book as well. I took ours home since I always get to the mail bags before my managers, and I'm reading it right now

How is it? I saw (tried to anyway) watch that Bee movie ... OMG it was sooooo bad. The acting was third rate at best...if STBX picks books that bad...they are in big trouble.

Hey Howie:

Isnt that the second thing you've told us you've stolen????? What gives, klepto???

I'm pleased they're heading down the road of being involved in books.

But dear god, please pick better books. Not this kind of crap.

i took a look at the first few chapters, there was a coppy lying about the store and i picked it up on my ten, that thing was depressing as hell.

as to wether or not it was good, i dont know. but in the first few chapters, the main character gets broke and wants to go kill himself.

as i said, highly depressing material.

I didn't steal it. I borrowed it to read since I knew that it would just end up getting trashed if I left it on our break table in the backroom. I'm going to return it as soon as I'm done finishing it.

And as far as the other thing that I "stole," I just want to reitterate it was a photocopied resource manual for the warming program, which I took to become more knowledgeable since we're getting warming in 2 months.

Not like I stole like an Akeelah and the Bee DVD :)

I read the back of the book and yeah.. It does seem majorly depressing. And my SM agreed, but he was like, "You'd think with Starbucks, they'd be all about promoting happiness and well-being, etc. Like they usually do. So why would they choose something that's sad?.."

I haven't read "5 People You Meet In Heaven," but I've seen the movie. And that's pretty freakin sad too. Albom writes about sad stuff no one wants to think about. Lol.
