A Pile of Books



Ok. So over the past two months I've been the recipient of a load of different business books by many different people. I've stacked them all on my desk at work -- it's become quite a teetering library. I have the best intentions to get around to read them all. But where does one start? They are all on the "best seller" list and they all cover a wide variety of topics -- which are all of interest to me.

However, lately when I come home from my 12 hour days at the office [pause for tangent: when I leave at 5:00 pm and a co-worker breaks out the old joke, "Only working a half day today, Matt?" I can honestly say, "Yes."], I really just want to read something fun. My other personal problem is that when I read, I don't like to rush through books. I like to chew on all of the words [i.e. I'm a slow reader].
I estimate I have about 2,500+ pages of work related books to read. My goal is to read them all within the next six months. I'll post a brief synopsis of each of them when I'm done.

Stay tuned...
