On My Reading List

I read quite a bit and recently have been on quite a tear. Here are a few books that I highly recommend:

To The Last Man: A Novel Of The First World War by Jeff Shaara
A work of historical fiction, derived from the journals, letters and interviews with numerous historical figures. A very insightful read. Historically accurate, engaging and easy to read. This book paints a human side to people, places and things that are often just dates and trivia.

Radical Careering by Sally Hogshead
An entertaining book that takes a unique, sarcastic and highly entertaining look at career development. A must read for anyone feeling stuck in their job!

Grapevine by Dave Balter and John Butman
As a founder of BzzAgent, Dave Balter knows a thing or two of about Word-of-mouth marketing. Grapevine, offers a look at what he learned, how he learned it and the surprises that came up along the way. A must read for marketing professionals!

Haunted by Chuck Palahniuk
A story about a group of writers on a "retreat" that quickly turns ugly as they image fame and fortune as victims of a getaway gone wrong. Funny and gory good fun! I would recommend for fans of horror or of his other works like FightClub.

That's all for now, but I will have my music picks coming soon. Stay tuned!
