   I received this email recently:

     ANONYMOUS LAWYER is a fantastic black comedy (and perhaps uniquely
     a fictional blog which morphed into a novel?) that exposes the
     madness which lies at the heart of so many corporate institutions
     in a Bonfire of the Vanities kind of way. Its references are
     completely up to the minute â ANONYMOUS LAWYER can truly be
     described as a novel of the moment.

     Please do let me know if you would like to see a copy.

   Of course I would and indicated so. Last week I received the novel and
   read it every chance I got. If you are a lawyer, you have to read this
   book. If you hate lawyers, you have to read this book. If you married
   my ex-wife and you are a lawyer, you have to read this book. It is a
   novel that reads like a blog and I cringe at the things this Hiring
   Partner of a major, major law firm writes.

   The reference to Bonfire of the Vanities is totally apt. Here's a man
   who is at the top of the heap, billing at $675 per hour, and is mainly
   concerned with power and appearences. He has the power to f--k with
   peoples lives and thinks of almost every possible way to do it, yet he
   is powerless to make himself chairman of his firm.

   I cringed at the story of the partner that offered a weekend at his
   vacation home in a silent auction. When a lowly maintenance man was
   high bidder, the partner was mortified that someone like a janitor
   would be sleeoing in his bed on his sheets. He thought he would have
   to have the house fumigated afterwards.

   The style of the writing in a blog format leads me to believe that
   there is a book in all my postings on Mover Mike. Now I have to go
   call some publishers.
