A candid take on self help books by a person who read 340 of them in a 2 year period. The only book he finds useful is Richard Wiseman's "59 seconds". One thing interesting about the amazon links to the books in his reviews is that they are affiliate ones...

An oldie from before the Google IPO in 2004, that seems hilarious in the current scheme of things, especially with gems like:
"Look at Google's competition: Yahoo, Amazon, and soon Microsoft. All three know more about their customers than Google, because all three have many years of portal experience. And Microsoft owns your desktop. Can Google compete?"
