 The Real Thing Nov 24, 2008
What can I say? Scott Adams has been revealing the "Real-Life-In-The-Office" for a long time and with great success. I have been reading his daily comics (in Canada) religiously. This book covers --and uncovers--many harsh and unpleasant facts about the wild-and-crazy world of the office business wonderfully well.
Current financial crisis explained Nov 16, 2008
This is one of the books that I reread from time to time to remind myself of its insights, because they are important. In fact, recent events have made this book more topical than I'd like. You can probably skip the articles by the usual financial pundits about why the US banking system has tanked. Scott Adams' model explains the incompetence that permeates so many corporations in simple and plausible terms. His conclusions appear quite applicable to what is currently going on.
How to survive in corporate industry Sep 20, 2008
When first Dilbert comics started to appear on newspapers I didn't understand them, they were probably only comics I didn't read. After I started to work in IT industry, Dilbert is the only comics I read.
And the book is even better, it's pretty hard to understand these comics without explanation from Scott Adams.
These comics feel so absurd, but even more absurd is how often you can find yourself in Dilbert-like situations in IT industry.
 Dilbert Principle Sep 16, 2008
This book is wacky, zany, and humorous. Sometimes impossible, it portrays the picture of the workplace in the future. Workers are non-traditional and sometimes with out-of-this-world attitude. The elderly will have a hard time to accept the would be scenarios. The conversations are not typical of our grandparents' days. A warning to educators and authorities. They have to rethink their policies and programs if they want to avoid a future society like this.

I almost died laughing whilst reading this book Apr 09, 2008
Absolutely hysterically tearfully gaspingly chokingly hilarious. But also a very accurate depiction of how the business world can be - now THAT is scary!
