Recommend me a book



The Tipping Point - Malcolm Gladwell // About how trends and other stuff goes viral
Good to Great - Jim Collins // The titles says it all.
Rework - Jason Fried // READ, truly paradigm shift without fluff
Purple Cow - Seth Godin // How Being remarkable is best Mkt stratergy
The Strain - Guillermo del Toro (Novel) // Kick ass vamp trilogy
 
The Snowball - Warren Buffett and the Business of Life. Its amazing how everything he did when he was young, ended up making him a billionaire.
 
In fact, thinking about it, I have a very good selection of 50 must-read books I downloaded before demonoid closed. PM me if you want it (that goes for anyone, I don't wanna post it right here)

(I do always always buy my books for kindle, unless a. The author is dead, or b. the author's profiting from crime. I think all of the authors in the folder are either dead or very very near death.)

Not business related, but it is highly motivating to read what these SEALs went through.

I LOVE SEAL books.

Lone Survivor is the SHIT. Also a fan of Rogue Warrior, and a few others I'm forgetting.

If you're ever having bad workouts, go read one of the books that gets into BUD/S training and Hell Week. Your workouts will improve, guaranteed. These guys go through so much shit... you can handle to sweat a little more too.

Will have to check out this new one.
 
Second Rogue Warrior...this should be a must read for every male HS student along with NAM by Mark Baker (I posted this in another thread, but the stories will blow your mind).

For the Military History buff:

The Terrible Hours
-Submarine chaos

Woodbine Red Leader
- P-51 Ace

And

Thirteen Days
-JFK and CUBA; good times!

I can understand the business book mind set that a lot of you have, but stories like these are ALL Business when it comes down to it.

Cheers
 
err...

I liked Ender's game, but the second book in the series "Speaker for the dead" blew me away.

For fiction (I am a SciFi Fan):

Ian M Banks - Culture novels. You need to understand the backdrop a bit, so I recommend

Daniel Suarez - Again, the first one is kinda needed as a setup (and OK, not great). Following that, the second book will blow your mind.
