What Are You Reading Now? - My Quarterly Survey

12/31/10 | MplsSteve

[MplsSteve]

Hello everyone!

it's time for my quarterly "What Are You reading Now?" survey. As you know, I consider Freepers to be among the more well-read of those of us out in cyberspace. As a result, I like to find out what you're reading.

It can be anything...a technical journal, a NY TImes bestseller, a trashy pulp novel, in short, it can be anything. Please do not defile this thread by posting "I'm reading this thread". It became very unfunny a long long time ago.

I'll start. I went to the library and picked up a copy of "Sam Walton, Made In America: My Story" by Sam Walton. I'm not the entreprenurial type myself and I'm only about 20% of the way thru the book - but I find it interesting how he built Wal-Mart to be such a powerhouse of a corporation. Some of the ideas he talks about can actually be put to use in almost any type of corporate environment.

Well, what are YOU reading now?

I have several going.

I just finished ‘381 AD’ about the development of the church in that time period.

Now I am re-reading “The Old Fox Deceived” and listening to “The Book of Three” in the car.

Looking at reading “Marathon” next.

Yes... well I have in a hell hole. I’m still writing about it all on my blog.
