Business books are mostly trash, avoid them like the plague. Also non-fiction does not have to mean 'hacking' books, there's lots of good stuff out there that can fill gaps you never knew you had.

I usually take a note when Charlie Rose has authors on, or even Stephen Colbert (although I skipped the whole doom+gloom book style of the last two years)



Comments about things that are universally bad are universally bad, and should be avoided like the plague.

I've got some good business books around here. Most of the ones that are wretched are self-help books with a little business language sprinkled on top to cover the flavor.


I agree with you that most business books are overrated. Although, for business advice, I have a lot of respect for anything harvard business review publishes.
