I always find his book recommendations disappointing. I hope to see some obscure gem in there, but it mostly looks like the non-fiction display section being promoted right now at my local bookstore - pop science and history etc.. Nothing wrong with that, but I know Gates has a high intelligence, so I always hope for more.

HNers seem to find the best stuff. I subscribe to the weekly email one of our peers sends that gathers up links to books mentioned on HN. Every week there's at least 2 or 3 worth picking up.

Same here. I read some of his past book recommendations and found them either uninteresting or not funny for books he listed as being funny.
