Man it’s tough to make money with affiliate sales 
There’s definitely been a bump since I posted my books list, but nothing fancy.
This is why I’m always amused when I get pitched blog widgets that are supposed to help me make money - none of it is ever substantial enough to be worthwhile purely for monetization. The value from writing this blog is all in super soft social capital.

What if you were to take those same books on that list, but for the next 10 months, each article (or once every few articles), you also mention a book from the list that is relevant to that article? I'll bet that clickthrough and conversion will be higher.
For example, your "Secret History of Silicon Valley" article.
The reader then has only one book to focus on and it's relevant to what s/he is reading about.

On the other hand, your blog is information rich. Readers come to your site to seek your insights. They're not necessarily in the buying mode (although they'll occasionally click the book links to buy something.) I think you don't necessarily have the "buying crowed" knocking at your door.
I'm curious about your ad sense and some source of revenue for this blog. Looking at your Alexa ranking of about 100,000, I think if you want, you can make good revenue from signing private ad deals, although it'll be a lot of work. :-)
