I’m planning to read strategically in 2009. I have broken down the books in to seven[7] different categories. If you would recommend a book, leave a comment. As the year proceeds I’ll be reviewing each book and posting my thoughts as each one is read.
One Rule: all books are borrowed, none purchased unless already owned. My public Library is now my personal friend (my wife’s idea, I like a challenge).
If you are interested in seeing the books I’ve listed below, you can see them at Amazon.ca: Jeff’s 2009 Book Club
