Ask YC (and PG): What books do you have on your bookshelf?

Re:Ask YC (and PG): What books do you have on your bookshelf? by Alex3917 on Tuesday July 08, 2008 @10:25PM (#240679)

Books I wish I had on my bookshelf:

Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Seth Godin, Oct. 21st)

Outliers: Why Some People Succeed and Some Don't (Malcolm Gladwell, Nov. 18th)

Reality Check: The Irreverent Guide to Outsmarting, Outmanaging, and Outmarketing Your Competition (Guy Kawasaki, Oct. 30th)

If you're the kind of person who lines up at bookstores to get the newest non-fiction books the day they come out then it's going to be an awesome fall.

I just like books with post-colonic explanatory subtitles, but it looks like I'll be taken care of as well.

Yes, I made that word up.

You could call them prolapsed titles.

Interestingly enough, W.P. Montague's book The Way of Knowing, had a post-sesquicolonic explanatory subtitle:

The way of knowing;: Or, the methods of philosophy

at least in early editions, the sesquicolon seems to have been replaced by a mere comma in the latest reprintings.

"colons: why bother to come up with clear title when you can explain yourself"

From the same author as "How to become extremely successful at writing self-help books"
