Would you read it, or throw it in the dumpster?

There is a book entitled, "Good Boss, Bad Boss", which I am going to give to my Boss. I figure a good Boss would read it cover-to-cover in hopes of becoming a better boss. While a bad boss would get pissed off because it was given to him, and throw it it the dumpster. If you were the boss, what would you do?

Update:

Cailean, NancyKay, and MoneyMan... You all took offense to the TITLE of the book, without having any idea of the TRUE content. BTW, my boss is President of a Small Oil Company. He knows he, and we, always have room for improvement... He thanked me for the book, and gave me a certificate for "Dinner for Two", because he "could see that I really care about the business". A number of self-improvement classes are in the making. The three of you, Nancy especially, should read the book...Barnes and Noble. Bye!

    Not a good idea. A good boss could get the feeling u think he is a bad boss and get pissed and throw it away.

    But if I were him I'd read it.

    I would ask why are giving me the book and ask where do you think where I need to improve my skills and then ask around see what others thought, there's always room for improvement

    I would think you were a presumptuous jerk to think you have any clue what it takes to be the boss and to judge me based on whether I read YOUR choice of books.
