Who Moved My Soap? The CEO’s Guide to Surviving in Prison: The Bernie Madoff Edition
by Andy Borowitz
I’ll admit it—it’s kind of shameless of me to include my own book on Bernie’s prison reading list. But since the Bernie Madoff saga is all about shamelessness, I think it’s entirely appropriate. Besides, it’s not as if I expect Bernie to actually buy my book—he’s been stripped of all of his assets, so he can’t even afford a copy ($9.95 at Amazon.com, free shipping with orders of three books or more.) But with chapters like “Trading One Gated Community for Another,” “Prison Cell Feng Shui,” and “Female CEOs: Breaking Through the Concrete Ceiling,” this book offers Bernie many valuable lessons for the future, or at least for the next 150 years.
