Ask HN: What is your “this-should-be-just-blogpost-not-a-book ”?

2 pointsby ElectricMindabout 4 years ago
I mean so many bad books being written left right centre by wannabe &quot;best selling&quot; author. I am going to exclude being harsh on technical books - I can&#x27;t judge because I don&#x27;t know everything. Also nothing against fiction book. But for God&#x27;s sake, what is up with self-help, motivation, life advice etc. Honestly, they have a drop of milk and then they add 10-litre water and they proud of being &quot;bestselling author&quot;? I am not blaming everyone but you understand what I mean.<p>I think if you don&#x27;t have solid 10 different ideas then there is no point in writing a book. Some bloggers have more content on their site then these &quot;authors&quot; with 10 books combined. Needless to say, I am throwing more books faster than reading them.<p>Do you feel this frustration too? Do you know any book which should not have been a book? Can you tell us why you think?<p>I hope this list will help us not to waste our valuable time reading worthless book also save us some money. Thanks :)
