   A nerdy, geeky and hilarious book - a fun insight into the reality of working at Google. Great sense of humor, fun comics, and truly Googley in spirit.

   I must thank sincerely Nicolas for offering me today Goomics by Manu Cornet, subtitled Google’s corporate culture revealed through internal comics. It looks great though I have read only the 1st two chapters (A is for Android and B is for Bonus). It is funny for sure if you know a little about Google. It begins with a Foreword this way: “Forewords are boring. I never read them myself. Please go ahead and turn the page now.” I did not and was right not to! I think this may become another bestsell I must thank sincerely Nicolas for offering me today Goomics by Manu Cornet, subtitled Google’s corporate culture revealed through internal comics.

I think this may become another bestseller about Google… I might tell you more as I read it… I’ve reached letter O of Goomics by Manu Cornet. (you can see my previous post about the book here). My favorite piece is at letter N for Nerds. I hope this author will not complain about my copying it here… I agree with the author. That much for lousy jokes, but I love it. And a more serious one, the amazing growth of Google with its 4 CEOs. Thanks a lot for the author for new contribution about Google. My final comment about Goomics deals with Manu Cornet’s views on Patents. They are not that different from mine. You may also try to guess what invention Cornet’s is referring to and what is the Australian patent I use in my class. It was granted and then revoked, shoudl you be interested to know about it…

   Truly enjoyed Goomics! As a non-Googler it was a delight to discover and have an insight of what makes up the "curious and mysterious world of Googlers" to 'outsiders'!! Hehe :) Without spoiling too much Goomics covers quite a lot- From funny and witty anecdotes; passing by the complex workflow and systems and onto the darker bits of the corporate world. A slight hiccup that i found- the text can be quite heavy and lengthy at times whilst the author is trying to explain terms or jargon (and may not Truly enjoyed Goomics!
