I finished JPod from Douglas Coupland, and it was good. I liked the book, the story was good, and well, it is sort of crazy when someone puts in 30 pages of randomly generated numbers in a book – that sort of explains the thickness of the novel.

The only thing I did not really understand and like when Coupland started to write himself into the book. Himself as Douglas Coupland the writer, that scenes I found a bit unneccessary. But all the same, go ahead and read it. It is funny.

The other book, the one I just put down is Seth Godin‘s Unleashing the Ideavirus. A really good book, although I wonder if he would write it differently, if there are parts which he no longer agrees – I think probably, after all it was written 6 or so years ago. Also, I have to check out the website, maybe he writes the changes there. And checking out the other one, the Big Red Fez site, just out of curiosity.

And now, I am moving on to Fred Newell‘s Why CRM doesn’t work, which seems promising – well, our product has a CRM functionality along with rating and billing, so I think it won’t hurt reading the book.

I would like to know what books did the people at the company read about their job. I think it would be a good idea to put up a list of recommended readings on different subjects that are related to our job and products.
