the 101 best-selling books of all time

Oh, I completely understand that :grin: - it's just that I don't consider regurgitated rotten cabbage like "WMMC" deserving of even being referred to as a "book". "The Poky Little Puppy" has many more redeeming and worthwhile qualities IMO.

Poky Little Puppy rocks.

"Who Moved My Cheese", regardless of "sales" figures, should have no business being on that list. If there is anything I hate, it's business books that take two pages of common sense and add exponential amounts of bullshit to make it seem profound. Even in this case, where the book is relatively small, the amount of bullshit is higher than eye-level. What's worse is the amount of people these types of books have suckered into buying over the years.

When our company went through a 'change process' about 13 years ago, 'Who Moved My Cheese' was highly recommended reading. I didn't read it. Glad I didn't too.

And you just summed up about 90% of all business books. Well - some only have one page worth of common sense. Some none.

You two should read Scott Adams' Dilbert books. Now that's a business book. :thu:

I didn't read the Poky Little Puppy,

But I did see the movie "The Little Puppy that Porked Me"

I think I should get some kind of bonus points for that one, it was pretty deep.
 
27.... and I'm happy that my all time favorite book was on there. (#90... A Brief History of Time)


I've probably read that 6 times.

I'm glad to hear you like it. It's sitting on my bookshelf at home, has been for some time, but I've just never gotten around to it yet. Always something else I want to read more. I was eyeing it up the other day thinking maybe it would be next.

I'm currently in the middle of 3-4 books though, so it would be awhile.

Psssst.......*whispers*, you can always go get one and read it, even though you aren't in school anymore..........I won't tell anyone............now put your finger here and rub.
 
I surprised myself with a score of 29. My favorite childhood book is number 63. The Poky Little Puppy. I have my 35 year old copy in my bookcase. 30 something anyway.
