Anyone read this book?

I picked it up yesterday afternoon and finished it off in a good three hours. Couldn't put it down. It was like my bible. Told my life story.

I'd recommend to all if you wanna just have a good time reading a book.

Anyone else read and want to comment on it?

Chapter 8. "Don't Pick Fights with People who Buy Ink by the Barrel" . PC Users Write Me Nasty Letters, and I Give Them the Public Flogging They So Richly Deserve.

I may have to buy it based on that alone.

Great chapter. IF you read Mac Design though, its just letters he took from previous Letter Columns.

it's about how aliens are controlling people by implanting bluetooth technology into their heads and using these people to stop us copying cds because every time we burn a cd it sucks gas through some weird dimensional shift from their planet to ours. they need this gas to live (they also power their spacecraft with it) fortunately for us it's harmless. so we don't notic really.

From the Publisher
An irreverent, off-the-wall, PC-slammin', totally-biased look at Apple, and what it's like to be a Mac user stuck in a Windows dominated world. Macintosh...The Naked Truth is definitely not another Mac how-to book; it's a mass-market, personality book about a computer platform and the people who love it, and the love/hate relationship they have with Apple. It's about what you feel, how you're treated (and mistreated), and what it's really like living life in the computing minority.The book, based upon the author's hugely popular magazine column, takes a humorous, evangelical look at Apple Computer and what it's like to be a Macintosh user living in a PC-dominated world. The success of Kelby's column lies in the fact that although it makes serious points about Apple's shortcomings, and what it's really like being a Mac user, it presents them in a humorous, often sarcastic, and occasionally sophomoric way that Mac users love. It's brash, unapologetic, insightful, controversial, outspoken, and often hilarious, peppered with 100% Macintosh attitude. Although it pokes light-hearted fun at everyone from Apple CEO Steve Jobs to the PC users manning the Apple section of CompUSA, each chapter contains an underlying message of Apple evangelism, and it can often be as inspiring as it is funny.

Sold.

I read this book in a couple days and I must say it is amazing. I love how Scott Kelby paints a picture of what a hell CompUSA is when you enter it.
