Tons of profit&loss statements, customer reports, A/R aging, margin variance reports, etc.
In 2005 I'd like to read State of Fear and some others. Any suggestions?
The Chronicles of Narnia- EXCELLENT! I read them as a kid and have very fond memories. Would be interested to know if they were ever made into film?
After reading the Chronicles, I did read more of C.S. Lewis' stuff... his other books are most excellent too. I highly suggest Mere Christianity.
Dump all your old business books and pick up "Good to Great," by Jim Collins. Best take on what makes a successful organization I've read in a decade.
I also read William Manchester's "American Caesar" (MacArthur's life story) over the Christmas holiday. Very book biography.
