No, I haven't read the book, and really have no reason to read it. I have read summaries of it though, and it doesn't interest me. Why? Because marriage doesn't interest me at this time of my life, and I have a big stack of more interesting "to read" books next to my bed that I'm having a tough enough time to get to! - and I am a voracious reader and love to read! As far as marriage being the worst business decision one can make, I guess that depends on who entered the marriage with the most assets, right? There are ways to protect oneself against that as well. I'm not bashing it because I feel threatened, I don't feel threatened at all. I simply don't respect opinions or intellect that make broad generalizations.
