How Starbucks Saved My Life

Name of the Book: How Starbucks Saved My Life
Worth-the-price-tag-iness Score: 7/10
Read right after: Howard Schultz' "Pour Your Heart into It"

OK, not my life, Michael Gates Gill's life... Here's this son of a rich man who (confessedly) has never associated with black folk save for his nanny back when he was 10 years old. He hangs around with such historic figures like Ernest Hemingway, Queen Elizabeth, T. S. Eliot, and Jackie Onassis (he can drop names better than the guest list at a pricey restaurant)… And then he finds himself (almost) homeless and out of a job with no savings to buy his daily bread. How did that happen, you ask… Well read the book, I say! It’s interesting (specially if you've read Howard Schultz' book on Starbucks before-hand), honest (although I question some of the meetings with celebrities) and short! You can finish it in a day! It’s not a work of art but it’s worth about a movie ticket and a half ($15.14)… Go ahead and entertain yourself…
