The Chuclopedia

For folks with Kindles or Kindle software, here’s an ebook that is currently free (not sure if that’s a permanent thing): Twelve Guys Named Charles: Valuable lessons and inspiration from a dozen of history’s “Chucks”.

Assimilated, eh? In the words of the great Mr. I. Montoya, “I do not think it means what you think it means.”
