Leaders Read and Readers Lead...

I read a lot. There’s no doubt about that. Call me a bookworm if you will, but I wasn’t always like that. I hated school. Thanks to Amazon, things changed for me. Good books became easier to obtain, and now with the Kindle it’s become too easy! I would rather spend a few thousand buying books (even in anticipation of reading it some day) than spending about $100,000 on an MBA program.

So what was the challenge all about? Well being a slow reader, and never finding the time (heard that before eh?!) to read… I decided to put up a challenge, read 1 book each week of the year, so that’s 52 weeks in a year… 52 books to read!

Now I hope you’ll remember that, because what follows is my collection… 'The Library', if you will, of books that I’ve read. If you'd like to receive my latest reviews on the books alone, I suggest signing up today.
