I used to read 2-4 books a week. My lack of reading these days is driving me crazy so I decided to do something about it: read more. This of course will require discipline, ie pry myself away from my laptop screen to sit down and read! It is possible. I have done it before. So here is what’s on my reading pile for the rest of the week:
- Founders at Work by Jessica Livingston. By the way, this is a fantastic book. I will post a review later this week. The publisher has made two of the interviews available online for free: Joel Spolsky and Steve Wozniak. Not my favourite interviews but it will give you an idea of what to expect from the book. The full list of interviewed founders is here.
- Inside The Tour de France by Eric Delanzy. I don’t know why but I am fascinated by The Tour de France…Why are there no women in the Tour de France?
- The Wal-Mart Effect: How the World’s Most Powerful Company Really Works–and How It’s Transforming the American Economy by Charles Fishman. Don’t ask… a friend of mine handed this to me and since it looks fascinating I am compeled to read it.
Leila, I’m reading Founders at Work now. Got the recco from kedrosky’s blog. It’s superb. Really well done.
I know it is really brilliant!
I find that these days I’m more likely to read something if it’s online. Perhaps I’ll have to arrange for each book that I want to read to be distributed as a series of blog posts. “So crazy, it just might work.”
Books, good. But I’m going to try and distract you… want to see the TdeF documentary Hell on Wheels with me ?
