Read one book a month

Short reviews here

Da Vinci Code (finished today). Good book. I didn’t get as into it as others I know, but it was a good, compelling story.

How To Generate Great Ideas (finished last week or maybe week before). Awful. Awful book – don’t waste your time.

American Psycho (Finished perhaps 2 months ago) – FANTASTIC! I recommend it to all – but it is quite explicit in places.

Blink (finished last week or maybe week before). It was OK – not great. I expected it to be worse than it was.

Business @ The Speed of Thought – OK – I didn’t think it was revolutionary even given the time it was written in, but it is dated now. It’s odd to find a book about exploiting technology in business that doesn’t date very quickly.

London Companion – good little book full of fun factiods about that great city.

Survivor – GREAT book. I really enjoyed it.

Wow – I’m ahead of my target. I want to keep this goal around for a year. I ride a train now to work, so I get about 1 hour of guaranteed reading time 5 days a week. That’s turned me into a book consuming machine.

I’m not writing my reasons for recommendation again… Check it here

Good book tho.

This is my February book. It’s narrated by a 15 year old boy with Asperger’s Syndrome, and he’s trying to find out who killed a neighbours dog. The story is about his detective work, and the adventure he goes on. A very interesting book, I thought it taught me a lot about the thought process (assuming it’s actually correct of course) of someone with aspergers – I don’t know anyone with it, but this book gave me some insights into how that would effect your lifestyle, and what goes on.

I’m going to read (at least) The Innovator’s Dilemma by Clayton M. Christensen this month. I generally prefer non-fiction books over fiction. This book apparently won the Best Business Book 1997 in the Booz-Allen & Hamilton Global Business Book Awards. It was recommended to me by a colleague.
