Screaming Bean
Thursday, August 17, 2006

I haven't written in a couple of days, but there's really been nothing of note to tell you. I did come to the conclusion that it's a damn good thing I decided not to become an accountant. One full day of nothing but crunching numbers and staring bleary eyed at spreadsheets will take any accounting aspirations out of you. I did start reading a new book...except it's not really new, it's old. My mother found a copy of My Life In Court by Louis Nizer at her parent's house when she was doing some cleaning and thought I might like to read it. It's eyeopening to say the least. My copy is from 1963, but the copyright goes back to 1961. It also was "the electrifying big best-seller for over 60 weeks at $5.95" according to the cover. Hardcovers were pricey. If you can stumble on a copy, I highly suggest reading it. It shows what a real litigator does, and for those of us in the law field, it's amazing to see how things used to work in the courts. The chapters are laid out by important cases he tried, and you're sucked right in to courtroom testimony and all the hard work Mr. Nizer would put into a case. It makes you feel good about the profession again...and I sometimes need that.
