To be honest, I haven't finished reading the book as well. At work, time is of the essence and I keep getting the run-around on some frivolous things (interruptions too). I would love to tune out for 4 days and just plow through it. At home I have some of my own stuff going on or just flat out want to do something different so as to 'get away' from what I do for a living.
