Utopian Pessimist's Off the Shelf Challenge and Musings

I'm a little reluctant to begin this particular challenge because so much of the excitement of having books is the luscious anticipation of being able to read them "some day." Sometimes I cry because I've reached the end of a book. Not a sad book, any book. I just hate the good ones to end. But there is it. I'm going to be practical.
So - I'll commit to the following (because I can see them from where I'm sitting so I can list them now). I'd like to make it to 100, but we'll see. I'm not counting anything as read until I've posted a review (Hereby trying to meet other obligations as well).
Fruit: A Novel About a Boy and His Nipples by Brian Francis
The Five Dysfunctions of a Team: A Leadership Fable by Patrick Lencioni
Wish me luck!

Welcome to the group! I will be looking forward to your reviews on your first two books. The first has such an interesting title(!) and I've heard a lot about the second but I've never read it. I read Three Signs of a Miserable Job by Lencioni and liked it very much.

I've read both of these books. Fruit is a wonderful story! The other is a bit preachy, but what management book isn't?
