  Books I wish I had on my bookshelf: Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Seth Godin, Oct. 21st) Outliers: Why Some People Succeed and Some Don't (Malcolm Gladwell, Nov. 18th) Reality Check: The Irreverent Guide to Outsmarting, Outmanaging, and Outmarketing Your Competition (Guy Kawasaki, Oct. 30th) If you're the kind of person who lines up at bookstores to get the newest non-fiction books the day they come out then it's going to be an awesome fall.

    I just like books with post-colonic explanatory subtitles, but it looks like I'll be taken care of as well. Yes, I made that word up.

      "colons: why bother to come up with clear title when you can explain yourself" From the same author as "How to become extremely successful at writing self-help books"

      You could call them prolapsed titles.

      Interestingly enough, W.P. Montague's book The Way of Knowing, had a post-sesquicolonic explanatory subtitle: The way of knowing;: Or, the methods of philosophy at least in early editions, the sesquicolon seems to have been replaced by a mere comma in the latest reprintings.
