How many self-help books do you own, on any number of these subjects, or anything that I did not think of:


self-esteem

dieting

hot sex

financing/budgeting

career goal

relationships



I get scared to think how many Americans buy into self-help book industry that is based mostly on common sense that one should know already, and the rest based on bullshit.

So confess -- how many do you have? I have . . . . . . .

None of those crap heaps.

Who needs any of that when you have the Nichomachean Ethics?

I have a ton of self help books... they're called Text Books!

I also have a bunch on finances and statistical process control and how sarcasm can work on the internet... and cookbooks

How dare you put textbooks at the same level of self-help books.

I have the book Who Moved My Cheese? on my shelf, as my former company gave a copy to all employees. I couldn't tell you what it's about, however, as I've never even cracked it open, and there's a healthy layer of dust collecting on it.

I have my parents' Kama-Sutra, if that counts for anything.

I wouldn't mind hearing some good advice about how to re-dynamise my couple, though I don't feel like buying mercantile books to that effect.

Well, at least you can still use it as a paper weight if the book is not too huge.

I don't know what gave you that idea, but parents NEVER EVER have sex. At least mine don't. Didn't.

None*.

I did purchase a copy of the Kama Sutra, but it was Wendy Doniger's translation. And she teaches here at Chicago, so. Yeah. My interest was entirely academic. Yeah...
