41 Appendix C. Reader Votes (Books, Audiotapes, and Seminars)




Description

This article is from the Self Improvement FAQ, by Loren Larsen llarsen@cs.clemson.edu with numerous contributions by others.

41 Appendix C. Reader Votes (Books, Audiotapes, and Seminars)

The question frequently comes up about "What do people think of product X?"
This appendix will try to create a fast way of viewing the general opinion.
Obviously no product can be summarized with a single number and hopefully this
won't discourage questions and discussion, just provide a more concise way of
capturing the general view. You can vote for a book, audiotape, seminar that
you have experience with by sending me a list with your vote. The easiest way
is to just cut out the list below and put your vote out to the side. If you
are posting a book review, including a rating on a scale of 1-10 and I'll add
it to this list automatically. So far, this list just includes things I have
read or that I could think of right off the top of my head. I'll keep adding
to the list based on your feedback (all votes so far are mine - so much for
anonymity).
