Ooh!  Me, me!  Well, I've read Ishmael, anyway, and picked up one of his 
other books (The Story of B?  Something like that) at a shelter in New 
York, but haven't read it yet.  I did think Ishmael was a neat book, but 
not life-changing like the reviews they quoted said.  After all, we're 
hardly going to act on most of the suggestions in the book, since most of 
the things he objects to in society are pretty deeply ingrained (like 
trying to feed the hungry, etc.).  Still, it does definitely gives you 
something to think about.  Not 2000 miles worth of thinking, maybe, but still.
