Read 50 books in 2007

i read more than i would have otherwise!

Behind, but made some progress:
6. Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell
7. The Call of the Wild, by Jack London
8. The Girlfriend’s Guide to Pregnancy, by Vicki Iovine
9. The Doula Book
10. Behind the Attic Wall, by Sylvia Cassedy
11. Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment, by George Leonard

It’s going to be impossible for me to read 45 books in the remaining six months of this year. I hope noone minds if I still keep plugging away on this goal here, even if I only end up reading 15-20 books.

Just completed book #5: Good to Great, by Jim Collins. Engaging, great read about what makes organizations go beyond mediocrity into excellence.

Sea Wolf, by Jack London Really great read!

7 habits of highly effective people, by stephen covey. Excellent book, but a time-consuming monster to get through.

I’m stuck on my second book (Seven Habits of Highly Effective People) at Chapter Two. The exercise at the end of the chapter is to ‘Write a Mission Statement’ and I’ve stopped reading to do that. I’m half-way through the mission statement now, but it’s a slow process.

Need to:
1) ‘Write Mission Statement’
2) Finish reading Seven Habits
-> ‘Personal MBA’ goal
-> ‘50 Books in 2007’ goal

1) Dubliners, by James Joyce – A series of short stories. Generally they were good, some were endurance exercises.
2) The Power of patience, MJ Ryan – A practical book on being the value of being more patient.
