Instead of posting individually about books I've recently added to the pile of filed info in my brain I thought it would be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to books recommended by contractors.
So far this year I've got:
Decision Points by George Bush - Good book, offers insight into the way he thinks.
My Life by Bill Clinton - Couldn't make it through it. Comes off as self centered and WAAAAAY to long on subjects. I recommend it if you have problems sleeping.
Something That will Surprise The World: The Essential Writings of the Founding Fathers - Great book shows what the founding fathers were actually discussing between themselves as they founded a new nation based on letters and notes between them. I recommend it if you are a democrat or if you are a republican who thinks "compromise" is the way it's always been.
Glenn Beck's Common Sense: The case against an out of control Government -
Almost cartoon bookish, even the most ADHD mind can grasp these concepts. It's a fast read with a lot of good simple information. Recommended for everyone for a quick easy read.
Sam Walton Made in America - A MUST READ for any entrepreneur. It's a good book the keeps your attention all the way through. HIGHLY recommended.
Flights of Angels - Supposed true stories of people who have had encounters with angelic beings in modern times. Lame. A wast of a couple of hours.
Currently reading:
The Case for the Real Jesus by Lee Strobel - Very, Very good. I'm not usually a Strobel fan, but this book is outstanding in it's academic study of the evidence for and against Jesus as God's Son. I'd recommend it for everyone. Everyone can make their own choices, but it's easier to make a choice when evidence is presented from all sides.
Delivering Happiness by Tony Hseih - The CEO of Zappos - I just started this one but it looks good so far. Zappos is one of the largest online retailers in the world. We took Fayth on a tour of their offices for home schooling and we were surprised that there were CEO's from all over the country taking the tour with us. They offer tours daily and 12 people from all over were there taking the tour with us that day. I'll update more on this book later, along with their "Culture Book" which is a compilation of paragraphs from their employees commenting on their experiences working at Zappos.
If you've found something good add it here!
