"I took a break from reading this after starting in May, but I'm back on track. Funny side-note: Shortly after beginning this book, I began to memorize Morse code like the agents discussed, and about a week later at work, I found a message in Morse on an external harddrive near the computer. Clearly, it was destiny!" — Jul 21, 2010 11:47AM
