(39566) The Piano Tuner: a book review A short review: I finished this novel last weekend. Daniel Mason's tale of a fairly non-descirpt, yet successful 19th century British piano tuner isn't the type of title I would normally pick up to read. But, the day I bought this book, I was in a nostalgic mood and it piqued my interest. I'm glad it did. The story is mostly set in Burma, during the British occupation.

Too many investors have been birned over the last few years for this culture to persist. "Had shareholders known about all the things that were happening at Enron, they would have sold their shares. Enron was a house of cards. Even before the stock prices went up the shareholders would have known that a lot of the value was based on a false foundation." This doesn't mean that privacy becomes the loser: a great deal of information (such as, say, customer credit card information) should remain secret.
