Summary: The "Fear and Loathing" of the 1990s
Comment: This book can be read on many levels. From its unusual layout complete with artistic gems in the margins, to the well researched literary allusions peppered throughout, it's quite an experience. The writing requires a someone delicate read - otherwise much of the subtle nuance could be glossed over - there are many hidden treasures in this book. I have an advanced degree in literature, and I would hold this up there with some of the better things I've read recently. It really captures the zeitgeist of the 90's workplace, as well as the angst-ridden humor of young corporate Americans.

Summary: A relief to read a smart, funny view of the corporate world
Comment: I laughed out loud-which I never do-while reading this book. Whatever your age or work experience, you will be able to appreciate and relate to aspects of Mark Thornton's experience in his job. I was relieved to laugh at the absurdities of work life that can frustrate me. I also appreciated the solid, sobering excerpts from other smart authors.

Summary: Funnier than Dilbert
Comment: I love books that are different. When I saw this I bought it right away. I was not disappointed.

Day Job is just about the funniest thing I've ever read. The author is really demented.

My only complaint is it's physically tough to read at times, but it only adds to the charm of the book.
