The Art of Conversation: A Guided Tour of a Neglected Pleasure

This book is very hard to read. I find myself forcing my way through each chapter as quickly as possible to get through the repetitive chapters. It is filled with rambling ideas and never ending torrents of references and anecdotes. The useful information related to communication could have filled a pamphlet and saved me a lot of time. If you want a book related to becoming a socialite this may be for you, but for a book on meaningful communication I would look elsewhere.
