I used to read Trump books but they were more autobiographies of himself than actual business advice or tactics.

I just finished the Richest Man in Babylon and it was awesome. Today I also finished Zero to One Million but I didn't really like it. It was way more fluff and was more like a combination of Rich Dad Poor Dad and Think and Grow Rich together.

"Internet Riches" and "Guerilla Marketing for Writers" are getting mailed right now while I finished the 4 hour work week. Timothy Ferriss is the man!

The 4-Hour Workweek by Timothy Ferris

If you haven't read this book do what you can do to read it ASAP. This book defines Fastlane. Its probably the best book I have read in several years - and I read atleast 30 books a year.

My good friend swears by this book and he is in the middle of jump starting his clothing label.

Guerrilla Marketing For Writers (Jay Conrad Levinson)
and The Naked Gentleman (Sally MacKenzie),
my usual mad mix of business and romance.

Guerrilla Marketing For Writers had a few good tips in it
but it is a library read, not one for the keeper shelf.
Some advice was dated
(difficult to keep a tactics book current).

Rule #1 by Phil Town - A simple look at the timeless Value investing. I have also read the intelligent investor, rule #1 does manage to simplify the value investing approach. It also provides some tools and methods to manually work out which stocks to invest in.

Overall good approach.

I thought that was a link to a book site or something, but now I see it on both your posts and it's not even an active link. Poor excuse of a sig pimp attempt or what? You wouldn't be trying to put fake meat in my mouth now would you? Explanation please!?!

I used to read a book evry week or so. Lately I havent done that much reading. I'm half way through "Chain of Blame" and I just got "Trump University Investing in Commercial RE" for Christmas. Cant wait to start that one but I have to finish my other one first.

How to Win Friends and Influence People is in my top 5 favorite books of all time. My only regret is that I didn't read it sooner; the title turned me off--felt too contrived. An absolutely amazing book, and honestly after reading it and applying the concepts, I think I am a better person because of it.

When Genius Failed: The Rise and Fall of Long Term Capital Management by Roger Lowenstein. It's the story of a hedge fund made up of a dream team of mathematicians and investment bankers that got real big in the 90s and eventually tanked big time. Interesting so far and well written.

Ulysses by James Joyce. This book is amazing. It's not related to business or the fast lane but definitely worth reading in my opinion.

Currently reading the four hour workweek. Not ecactly as I imagined but didn't really know what to expect either. Interesting how the author finds a way to escape meetings and most responses can be answered over email which is true. A lot of meetings really don' have a point but I think some people like to hear themselves talk.

tchandy,

I just bought Four Hour Work Week yesterday. It was highly reccomended on this site so I look forward to reading it. I'm half way through a Buffett biography now and I found a copy of Art of The Comeback online. It should be here (hopefully) today.

Well let's see, the library delivery guy just rang the bell (this is FREE!!! mind you, can't believe it!) and.....

I have The Emyth Revisited (what an idiot, I own this lol; I guess that's my clue for a reread ) and Getting Everything You Can Out Of All You've Got, by Jay Abraham.

---21 Ways You Can Out-Think, Out-Perform, and Out-Earn the Competition. Looking forward to this one.

 

[imoutthere]

I was reading The ultimate sales letter by Dan Kennedy.

Then i picked up Getting everything you can out of all you've got by Jay Abraham and i haven't put it down yet.

Man, i highly reccomend this book. Since im still new not many people will take my word for it. But this is an awesome book on Selling.

I have never heard of the author before buying this book, but now im a customer for life.

The Forgotten 500, its about downed airmen in WW2. Now that school is in, I'm slowing down on a lot of reading. I have case studies about Walfart to read, yeah!


I'm looking for a good fantasy series to sink my teeth into, something thats not a manga I'm following to many of those as it is. Nothing has struck my fancy though.

My brother graduated with a history major but still landed a financial insurance job. He beat out a bunch of recent graduates who had financial degrees. He gives a ton of credit to this book.
