Anyone read anything interesting lately?

The last really good one I read was Felix Dennis' book. I found that a good mix of solid advice and interesting story.

Any suggestions?

nope, but I'll second the Felix Dennis book.

Predictably Irrational by Daniel Ariely.

I thought it was compelling reading, especially for anyone in retail sales.

anything by Peter Drucker
but in particular 'The Practice of Management'

I saw that was rated highly on Amazon.

I ordered a couple of books about marketing to try and get some fresh ideas.

Bought the Felix Dennis book today, read up to page 162 now and it's hard to put down. First book I've bothered to read past the first few chapters for ages. Not what I was expecting, caused a range of emotions and polarised my view. Looking forward to the rest of it tomorrow.

Not a business text book per se, but I've just finished 'The man who owned the News' about Rupert Murdoch, that was quite interesting.
