Business
Fun It's difficult to avoid a sneaky
feeling that business is much too serious to be taken lightly. In fact, it's much too
serious NOT to be taken lightly. These books take a humorous view of business, but there
are some real lessons there too.

Scott Adams
Dilbert and the Way of the Weasel

Where previous Adams management books (as opposed to pure cartoon
collections) have achieved some balance between the positive and the
negative, this plunges whole heartedly into the BAD side of business. This
is all about being a weasel - a weasel manager or a weasel employee, out
to screw everyone and the business for as much as you can get - is not
just about being negative, though. The fact is there's plenty to learn,
because pretty well everything in here is what not to do, and there
are very few of us who work in organizations where some of these bad
practices don't occur.

The Dilbert Principle.

With a combination of witty text and devastatingly funny cartoons, Scott Adams
illustrates everything you can do wrong in business. Superb.
The Dilbert Future: thriving
on stupidity in the 21st Century.

Adams has done it again, managing to mock both
management text books and everything business can throw at us in the future. Slightly more
words and less cartoons, but still hits the spot.
The Dilbert Future

C. Northcote Parkinson
Parkinson's Law.
Parkinson's Law (work expands to fill the time available for its completion) is
quoted so often, that it has assumed a mythical quality like Murphy's Law. In fact it is
the underlying theme of this early (1958) humorous business book. Sometimes the humour is
a little heavy-handed, but there's a lot more on how not to run a business in there. Worth
buying for the nuclear reactors / bicycle sheds discussion alone.
