I love books. I devour them at a rate of one to two a week. This has accelerated since I have shifted most of my “reading” to listening to the audio versions on my iPod. One key reason for doing this is that it saves my shoulders! When I am commuting I find it's a lot easier easier to carry three books on my iPod or iPod nano than it is to schlep the physical copies. It also fills in lots of pockets of “unusable time,” such as workout time. My recent “reads” include The Google Story, The Big Moo, You the Owner's Manual (eat Omega threes!), The Education of a Coach, The Last Season and Nothing is Impossible (I like reading profiles of successful coaches in sports). The one downside? They shrink my podcast time dramatically.
So, just for the heck of it, here are the five books I plan to read next. I plan to plow through as many of these as I can before the year is up. (Warning - I am boring; I shun novels.) Three of them - Freakonomics, All Marketers are Liars and The Search - are written by bloggers. Another profiles Ben Franklin, who Rex Hammock calls a pre-bloghistoric blogger. By the way, did you know that Ben turns 300 next month? Some even say Ben foresaw Web 2.0. Finally the last book, Why Do Men Have Nipples, well it had such an interesting title that it made it hard to pass up. They're all available in audio format on iTunes or Audible or even on plain ol' CD or paper.
What else should I be “reading?” What's on your list?
