I’ve got to admit that books got me to where I am today.

When I was trying to sort out the journalism business and how I could single-handedly save it, I started reading books about – gasp! – business.

Fortunately for me, this was right around the time that business books began booming. Like many others, I read Good to Great by Jim Collins and it really changed my perspective of how business worked and how to craft a staff to reach your goals. It also taught me the value of data. The cold hard facts.

Now, books are an inescapable part of my life. The more I can red the better. Sure, I have my ebbs and flows, but books have helped me get me here, writing this blog and trying this adventure of my own company.

Dave Ramsey sent out a Tweet yesterday – the average millionaire reads a book a month.

Sounds good to me.

So, what are you reading right now?

My answers:

  • Built to Last by Collins
  • Tribes by Seth Godin
  • Crush It by Gary V.
  • Trust Agents by Chris Brogan
  • Tender Warrior by Stu Weber

Your turn.
