TOP IDEA: Tim Ferro Don’t Bother Reading Linchpin! I made it through 108 pages of this worthless, psychobabble garbage before giving up and returning the book to the library.... Read the rest of my review on my blog: http://www.timferro.com/wordpress/archives/225

I did read through the entire book, but only through sheer stubbornness of refusing to quit. The absolute only thing I really agreed with from his entire premise: passion is over-rated. Instead of doing what you love, you should love what you do.

Angela Hi! This is my first post on Travel addicts! I'm planning a trip to Rome next summer, in August, in the DIY way... and any word of advice could come handy! I'd love some scoop on the treats and tricks of the Italian capital, if any of you've been there. Thanks!

I recommend this book above all else: http://www.amazon.com/Rick-Steves-Rome-2010/dp/1598802836/ . Trust me, that's the book to get. The other place I would tell you that's a "must see" is the Borghese Gallery, http://www.galleriaborghese.it/ . You need to make a reservation but it's totally worth it. The gallery and surrounding gardens are awesome.

Jim Parker If a college graduate has relevant and proximate work experience, but it won't easily fit on a page... what would you suggest? One page, however, the font is small or may omit important accomplishments or skills? or Two pages, concise, and gives appropriate amount of attention to work experience and accomplishments?
