Yep, time to stock up on some new books. I’m interested in:
-
Business (startups and the like)
-
Economics
-
Marketing
-
Technology. Classics, though, books about the latest this or that are less appealing these days, because the net simply has so much information available.
That’s certainly a broad range, but the reason I’m writing here, is that I’m looking for books other people like me considered a good read, and not just an idea I can glean from the wikipedia summary of the book.
Yoav seems to share some of my tastes, for instance.
Some of the books I’m considering:
-
Founders at Work, by one of Paul Graham’s collaborators. Looks interesting, but I’m a little bit dubious about the ‘lots of anecdotes’ format. Do you learn anything repeatable from it, or just motivational tales of yore?
-
Something from Guy Kawasaki – Rules for Revolutionaries?
-
Over 20 Years of High-Tech Marketing Disasters
-
Don’t Make Me Think: A Common Sense Approach to Web Usability
