Google Search annoys me with useless links

I tried to search a great book in google. I got the result I wanted. I right clicked and copied the link.

here's what I copied:

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FWorking-Effectively-Legacy-Robert-Martin%2Fdp%2F0131177052&ei=QkdwRublHpaWQbvXlKED&usg=AFQjCNEFklighJ3ilFfGC7AVeyVuNW6Dfw&sig2=yge94gaRSL3due7FzIPQvw

instead of:

http://www.amazon.com/Working-Effectively-Legacy-Robert-Martin/dp/0131177052

 

The reason: I was signed into google to check mail, and when you sign in. google tracks what you search and record it, so they also turn all the links into useless garbage. I actually have to select the link text underneath the search result to get the real link, which sucks big time.

Google really can be annoying sometimes.
