I am not a huge one for reading real copy, I seem to tend to read from a screen - Blogs, Articles and techy stuff. Maybe a response to my personality or simply a movement of times. I do intend to read the big texts, the greek philosophies, the better deeper books but not yet. Priorities and speed of life currently lean me to read for the moment. Technology and business perhaps goes hand in hand with currentness of news and freshness.

Either way when I do get round to holding a real book here’s what I currently recommend:

• 7 Habits of Highly Effective People - Steven Covey - A very good book - far from the realms of most self help books - more of a life help book. I would highly recommend this book for all business people, entrepreneurs and people that want to get somewhere in life.
• The Long Tail: How Endless Choice Is Creating Unlimited Demand - Chris Anderson - Written by Chris Anderson - an editor at wired.com this book is a bit over statistical for my appreciation - but it is written by an economist! Still if you are interested in internet economies, business and markets online well worth the read.
• The Google Story - David A.Vise - Not completely through this one but for sheer relevance it should be on most peoples bookshelf for that moment you require the bigger picture influence.
  
• Art of Contrary Thinking -Humphrey B.Neil - A great book if you are looking for a quick but worthwhile read. I really have a liking for short and concise books like this. Great points on interesting business situations going back over the last century. Stock exchange mishaps and how to think the exact opposite of the whole crowd. Excellent real world reading.

I will stick the links in to Amazon - if you think you would also like the books - please buy through these links and then recommend it to a friend!
