The Challenge: To Read 30 Books In Seven Months

Why read 30 books in seven months?

If you’ve read my “10 guilty pleasures” post the reason will seem self explanatory. I do LOVE reading. That is only part of the reason though. I think all entrepreneurs can learn new ideas, new concepts and avoid mistakes through reading books. In fact anyone can learn from books, not just entrepreneurs.

So I have set myself this challenge – to read 30 books by 31^st December 2011. Further, I will post a review of my learning and overall thoughts for at least half of the books here on the Better Business Better Life blog. Read the posts and you can decide whether to read the books for yourself or take the lessons I’ve mentioned and apply them to your business.

Which books am I going to read (in no particular order)?
