This book feels like something Bill Hicks would write, with its veiny back-America -- the malls, the ex-cons, the rusted automobile wrecks, and the television showing a world that tells you that your world isn't real. And then, a prayer that isn't a prayer results in a man showing up who is either a deluded fan, or something outside of reality.
This book haunted me for weeks afterwards.

I love this book so much. This is the book I would hand out to people just starting a job as a programmer. It's especially useful for consultants and programmers on services teams; it tells you how to take a series of meetings and turn them into a common language for talking about domain objects.
