I've been reading 2-5 a month, but not all of them
are directly IT related. I'm trying to learn about
some other industries.

I've read some good ones, usually short missives by techies that some
marketing people cleaned up.

But most I've read could have been generated by a random buzzword 
assembler... oh, they were: The marketing department.
