I try to read as many books as possible. I have the bad habit of reading too many books in parallel and then quickly losing interest and not finishing the majority of the books I read. I’m working on it.
Currently I’m reading:
“The Art of the Start” by: Guy Kawasaki
This one is a classic business book and a must read. I actually just completed this one, and will probably do a detailed review. Overall I highly recommend it.
The Nomadic Developer: Surviving and Thriving in the World of Technology Consulting
This book is about the life of a software consultant. So far I’m about 80% of the way through it. It’s more geared towards a junior developer who is thinking about joining a consulting company. Not really targeted towards me but so far I’ve found it interested to get a glimpse into the lifestyle of a consultant developer.
The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich
Another absolute classic. I first read this one many years back. I actually lost it for many years and just found it, so I thought I’d give it another read through. This book is chock full of tips on managing your work life and improving your productivity.
Buying a Second Home: Income, Getaway or Retirement
Michele and I are thinking about getting a place up in the whites as a home base for skiing, hiking, and potentially water sports. I’m about 25% through this one and so far the content is pretty obvious.
So, four books in progress is fairly light for me. I’ll try to post some detailed book reviews. I figure the blog would be a good way for me to reinforce any lessons from these books.
