I've read a couple and will probably steal the idea for a couple more. I am looking forward to Brian Solis' new book Engage. However, I can't recommend it since I haven't read it. If I could only recommend one I would say On Intelligence by Jeff Hawkins, it's an amazing survey of how the mind works. Also, I occasionally post book reviews on my blog when I finish relevant ones. Actually just wrote a review of The 4 Hour Work Week. http://jonathancavell.com/wordpress/?cat=46 That’s an impressive list. I’ve read a couple and will probably steal the idea for a couple more.

I love the suggestions (and advice). I DO have a Kindle and my first book of 2010 was read on it. I am lukewarm about the experience... Thanks, everyone! I love the suggestions (and advice).

I am not the reader you are but have been picking up the pace for the last six months. Here are my two favorites: The Given Day by Dennis Lehane (all of his books are great and based in my neighborhood). Historical fiction This one is for you: Hooked: Pirates, Poaching and the Pefect Fish (you'll have a newfound appreciation for what marketing can do with a fish) Pirate Lattitudes by Michael Crichton -- just published (found the manuscript after his death).

If you're doing this, I can't recommend a Kindle (or an iPad‽?!‽?) enough. Your back, your bag, and your wallet will thank you. Connor I would reccommend:
