Books I Love

I always get a comment when someone walks in: “Wow, you have a lot of books!”

Indeed, I have a huge bookcase full of knowledge.  Actually, I’ve read most of them.

Knowledge is so cheap today, you just have work for it.

    Just finished Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde – I remember you didn’t like that one? I really liked it – we should discuss.

    Suggestion: Atlas Shrugged

    Alan Paton’s Cry, The Beloved Country. It’s between this, Lee’s Mockingbird, and Murakami’s The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle as my favourite book. I also recommend Achebe’s Things Fall Apart– absolutely brilliant!

    I agree that Rework is a simple must-read for anyone interested in start-ups, that was the last book I just finished. I would recommend “Secrets of the Millionaire Mind” by T. Harv Eker (business) and “The Four Agreements” by don Miguel Ruz (personal development)
