The Best Book Title EVER.

by Kim on May 22nd, 2006

Next week is Memorial Day already, and soon you will be thinking about the beach (if you haven’t been doing so since January). Beach time is book time and I have one that I think should be mandatory reading.

I am not much of a “chic lit” gal, nor am I a Da Vinci Code kind of gal. I’m the only person on the planet who did not read that book. I’m more of an historical biography fan…I can’t tell you how many gigantic Alexander Hamilton bios I’ve got just sitting on shelves, waiting to be read.

100 BS Jobs is written by Fortune Magazine columnist, Stanley Bing…and if the writing style in his book is anything like his columns it should be a blast.

The title immediately makes you say…”that’s my job, it’s all bs…” And to try to prove it, Bing examines each position, considering its pay and its “bullshit quotient” (which is rated from 0 to 200, the latter being the rating granted to “the No. 1 bullshit artist on the planet,” Donald Trump).

I giggled when he explained that Construction Flag Wavers “must look good in orange and stripes,” and that book editors don’t really edit for fear of getting ink stains on their Armani shirt cuffs.

I suggest you pick it up and read it at work…
