I'd say typically avoid (I guess it's sort of elitist and ridiculous of me, but I don't like reading books that the unwashed masses are reading). I did just buy A New Earth by Eckhart Tolle because it seems self-improving and very New Years-y (and bc BooksOnBoard is giving 100% Rewards on some of the year's bestsellers: http://www.booksonboard.com/index.php?F=newyears_1_2008) but I have a feeling I'm not going to read very much of it. Self-improvement is not my thing.
