I'm trying to get some recommendations for books that might be helpful for a web startup. Personally, I have really found "The Tipping Point" by Malcolm Gladwell and "Getting Real" by the 37signals folks to be really helpful. I've read lots of great articles via news.YC, and I'm hoping you can all recommend some good offline reading as well.

There was a good thread about this a couple weeks ago. People recommended a lot of great books.

Is your business an online version of "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?"
