post at least two book reviews to my blog each month in 2006 (read all 24 entries…)
Phew! 2 years ago

So I’ve posted the one outstanding review I mentioned in my last entry for this goal: Little Black Book of Connections.

However, I’ve now read three books in the past week:

  • Success Built To Last (last weekend)
  • L.L. Bean: The Making of an American Icon (Mon-Thu)
  • Mavericks at Work (tonight – it was very compelling!)

I’m going to try and get Success Built To Last posted by tomorrow. Wish me luck!

I need to make a start on Succeed on Your Own Terms – primarily because I have the chance to interview the author, Dr. Herb Greenberg, on October 23, but also because it looks interesting.

Turns out that the publisher that supports me the most is Harvard Business School Press/McGraw Hill (same company) – I guess it could be worse!

I'm not sure.

I think it might be combination of how well the book is written and how interested I am in the subject matter. For instance, the Success Built To Last and Mavericks at Work are both very well written and I’m deeply interested in their topics (they’re somewhat related as well). The L.L. Bean book took me a bit longer, because the writing style wasn’t so smooth. Turned out that a lot of the themes were related to the other two books, though.
