My Top Ten Books of 2009

Posted December 22nd, 2009

I’ve always read many books, and have been good at implementing good ideas and a few bad ones too.   Some people have asked me what I read, so here are my top ten from all categories:

  • An Altar in the World – Barbara Brown Taylor
  • The Myth of Multitasking – Dave Crenshaw
  • The Human Contribution – James Reason
  • iBrain(Surviving the Technological Alteration of the Modern Mind) – Gary Small and Gigi Vorgan
  • Lost on Planet China – J. Maarten Troost
  • The Big Skinny:  How I Changed My Fatitude – Carol Lay
  • Three Cups of Tea:  Greg Mortenson
  • Traffic: Why We Drive the Way We Do (And What It Says About Us) – Tom Vanderbilt
  • The Blind Side – Michael Lewis (good movie also)
  • The Most They Ever Had – Rick Bragg

I’ll read over 70 books before the year ends, along with many journals, magazines, and newspapers.  As Mark Twain said,”The person who does not read has no advantage over the person who cannot read.”
