>Thanks a lot for the offer, however it takes me forever to get through a book. I would definitely like to buy one, but wanted to get one that was recommended.

OK. In that case I second Tamar's recommendation of "About Face". It will make you think about familiar things in unfamiliar ways. If you don't know who Alan Cooper is, he was one of the architects of Visual Basic. You were probably about 6 at the time <g> but that was a revolutionary product. He also has a terrific writing style, taking on sacred cows with glee. (Including VB, interestingly enough).
