My Summer Reading List

If you plan to do something, over-plan it to the point nothing may get done. ~Sortajack

After a year of almost inactivity, I decided to take up reading again. This time two years ago, I was reading a book every two weeks, as well as The New Yorker (I can't wait to get my issue with the controversial Obama cover, btw) and The Week.

So to jumpstart my summer reading, I've started with a "healthy" list including titles I already own, as well as Business Week's recommended MBA poolside reading.

2. The World is Flat (Thomas Friedman)
3. True North (Bill George)
4. in progress Field Notes from a Catastrophe (Elizabeth Kolbert)
5. Ulysses (James Joyce)
6. Five Future Strategies You Need to Know Right Now (George Stalk and John Butman)
7. Competitive Strategy (Michael E. Porter)
8. The Back of the Napkin (Dan Roam)
