Books I've Read Lately

Brian Tracy, in his "21 Secrets of Self-Made Millionaires", suggests reading or listening to audiobooks for 1 hour every day, and remarkable success stories like that of Ben Casnocha are a testament to the importance of reading, even in our multimedia-heavy society. After reading Ben's blog for a while, I was inspired to start reading again, and it has expanded my worldview and changed the way I think about life and business. Over the last 6 months, I've been averaging about two books a month. Not bad, but there's still room for improvement.
