    After reading your whole post I came to realize that I was disappointed because you never told us what your last summer reading book was :p

    Looks like I'll never get the opportunity to meet Morey seeing that you met him at a book store.... :eek:

    I'm glad Daryl Morey said this. When people were congratulating him during the Summer League here in Vegas, he was saying the same thing. His uncritical supporters should take the same approach.

    Alternative thread title...

    Kevin James, Adam Sandler, and Rob Schneider had a baby and then one day he met Daryl Morey at Barnes and Noble.

    no joke
    Daryl Mory's favorite book list:
    The Killer Angels, The Count of Monte Cristo, Animal Farm, Brave New World, Catch-22, Did I Ever Tell You How Lucky You Are, If I Ran the Circus, The Goal, Hidden Order, The Crisis, The Republic, Flow, The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People, On a Pale Horse, Castle Roogna, Watchmen

    Count of Monte Cristo and Brave New world are 2 of my favorite books, but I have to say I did not like Animal Farm. Myself and all of Morey's cult followers need to make a goal to read all books on his list.

    I met Daryl once & he is tall. He makes the OP look much shorter than 5'9". I got a pic with him, and I told him I was a big fan of his work.

    Exactly. Maybe it's an autobiography of his.
