Bought Big Papis book today.

Finished Good To Great...I can't believe I hadn't read that book, weird. Collin's reading style grated on my eardrums from time to time, but I liked the book. Some interesting stories, and the Walgreens example actually spurred some thought on my own company so it was worth the time to listen to it.

Now on the ipod....The Wisdom of Crowds. Fairly interesting so far...

Seriously, folks. We need a "shakes fist" smiley.

Just use the smiley

If you liked those books I would recommend the Tipping Point from Malcolm Gladwell next. Very enlightening in the same way as Wisdom of Crowds.

edit: Whoops, just read back a few pages on the thread, looks like you've already heard of it.

Others I liked:
Confessions of an Economical Hit Man
Naked Economics

Confessions of an Economical Hit Man

Is that really the title of the book, or is this a typo?

 

[Suns_fan69]

Whoops

It's true title is 'Confessions of an Economic Hitman' although I'm sure he was quite economical in his ways.

Here's an article on it and interview with John Perkins, the author: http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=04/11/09/1526251

I'm only a few chapters in so far...I have read Crime and Punishment, which I liked but which I feel is overrated. I fear Brothers is the same.

I don't really like the detached style so far. It may grow on me.
