About the book >.>.> What the author has done here is what most people do when they write. He has used the writing process as a device to formulate his thinking. As a device it works quite well in fact but the result is a bit hard on the reader who is forced to plow through several irrelevant sentences before he finds the point. How much easier if the note had read: Could we reschedule today’s meeting to Thursday at 11:00? This would be more convenient for Collins and Johnson and would also permit Clifford to be present. Alas to get from the first example to the second means double work for both the author and his secretary and most people feel it is not really worth the effort for such a short note. No doubt they’re right. But what happens when instead of the document’s being one paragraph long it is two or three pages?
