So my girl gets the sweet 40% off discount at Barnes and Noble, which pretty much equals Amazon's daily prices. Either way, I am in the market for a new book, and thought I would poll the diverse, disgusting, perverted community here. It doesn't have to be marketing related, however I guess that would be a plus.

I am about to finish up 4 Hour Work Week, which I feel has some great points/suggestions. Something similar in nature would be great, or if you have read this book and know others that held your interests as well.

Forget the beastiliaty, homosexual, and uber camp books; I have already read them all.
 


Anything by Michael Chrichton... my favorite by him is probably timeline.

Other than that:
-Digital Fortress (Dan Brown)
-House Of The Scorpion (Can't Remember)
-The Alchemist (Pauolo Cohelo sp??)
-The Transall Saga (Gary Paulson)
 
Citizen Vince by Jess Walter was one I read not too long ago. Really enjoyed it.

Not sure if this link will work or not, but you can read the first page on amazon here.
 
Rich Dad Poor Dad.

Any book in that series if you've already read the original one. If you liked 4 Hour Work Week, you'll like this one.
