The Joy of Work
Author: Scott Adams
The way Dilbert books operate, Adams should be able to turn one out every month or so. He gets to illustrate all his points with old comics and reader email. There's not that much original text involved. Furthermore, most annoyingly, he switches from humor to seriousness about 2/3 of the way through. He's done this before, and I wish his publisher would put all the humor together in one book of a decent size and make separate, serious books whenever the author wants to write enough to warrant one. As it is, the reader gets to fly through about 180 pages of light, funny stuff, then spends the last 80 pages waiting for the next good joke.
Get this one from the library or speed read a bit of it in the bookstore. Not one to keep.
