I had a call with an entrepreneur today – he said he was going to read 12 business books this year – this was my suggestion after thinking about it…
********
12 biz books seems like over kill…
a) reading that many keeps our brains racing when we need them to relax a bit
b) many are repeats of stuff we already are not doing…
I would do this…
a) Read 3 biz – and pick them carefully. Really read them. Write notes on them. And share summaries with your employees (and me)
b) Read these books for fun…
–Endurance – by Albert Lansing – it’s about Ernest Shackleton – awesome story – my fav book of all time – read it 15 years ago.
–Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand – consistently rates as one of the best books ever written – it’s exactly what the USA is going through today – and the Entrepreneur/Capitalist is the hero (finally)
–A Prayer For Owen Meany – by John Irving – just an awesome book – brain candy
–The Agony & The Ecstasy by Irving Stone – about Michelangelo – we’re a long way from being Renaissance Men – awesome story
Then read a book on Wine and another on something random…
Just my thoughts…

What are you reading ?
