Some books I've read
--
7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
by Stephen Covey
I implemented some of the suggestions and some I partially implemented. It's a good stepping off point to your own customized solution.
ADVENTURES OF MARK TWAIN
by Mark Twain
Don't remember much other than it was not a bad book to read.
ANIMAL FARM
by George Orwell
Everybody knows this book. I found it to be an easy, enjoyable read.
AUTOMATE THE BORING STUFF
by Al Sweigart
I liked this book, but I felt like it could have gone deeper and provided more... I don't know, just more.
BABYLON RISING
by Tim LaHaye
A good read.
CAPTURED BY GRACE
by David Jeremiah
Easy explanation of some biblical issues.
EAT THIS, NOT THAT
by David Zinczenko
If you are not up to speed on the hazards of current food choice problems you might enjoy this.
EPICENTER
by Joel Rosenberg
Liked this one better than The Last Days.
FREE AS IN FREEDOM: RICHARD
STALLMAN'S CRUSADE FOR FREE SOFTWARE
by Sam Williams
Good historical information as to why Stallman might be the way he is.
FREE CULTURE
by Lawrence Lessig
Lengthy, lots of info. Not a light read.
GETING THINGS DONE
by David Allen
Popular and effective means of organizing your tasks and thoughts.
GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, MY UNCLE DOES
by Carla Rene
Good. Weird, but good.
HOW TO LIVE ON 24 HOURS A DAY
by Arnold Bennett.
It was ok. Might be the kick in the pants somebody needs to get out of a slump.
IF IT BLEEDS
by Stephen King
A small collection of short stories. It was enjoyable although not something I couldn't put down.
LEARN PYTHON THE HARD WAY
by Zed Shaw
I liked this book and it's approach. It just seemed to make a huge jump from teaching simple techniques to mastering intermediate ideas with no real segway between the two.
LEFT BEHIND SERIES
by Tim LaHaye
Read these years and years ago. There was some controversy (naturally) as it's not a word-for-word description of the end times. It does get the point across and might point you toward picking up a bible and verifying the information yourself.
LIVING THE FIT LIFE
by Patrick McCrann
Not really applicable to my circumstances, by certainly some good informatin.
LOVE AMONG THE CHICKENS
by P.G. Wodehouse
I like his other books better, but it's still ok.
MY MAN JEEVES
by P.G. Wodehouse
An easy read. Entertaining.
RIGHT HO, JEEVES
by P.G. Wodehouse
An easy read. Entertaining.
SPIRIT WARRIORS
by Stu Webber
Encouraging read.
THE ART OF MANLINESS
by Brett McKay
More of a guide for personal hygiene and behaviors for men. Stuff your dad might have (should have) taught you.
THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES
by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
I like most of the Sherlock Holmes books so I'm a little biased but I found it enjoyable.
THE LAST DAYS
by Joel Rosenberg
Fast paced, enjoyable book.
THE MILLION POUND BANK NOTE
by Mark Twain
Silly, but enjoyable.
THE REVOLUTION
by Ron Paul
Ok, not great.
THE SECRET LIFE OF BIKERS
by Jerry Langton
It's okay. If you don't read it you won't have missed much though.
THE SHACK
by William P. Young
I really liked this and it was an unexpected purchase. I just wanted to pick up an easy read for a beach trip. It's been made into a movie as well.
THE SNOWBALL
by Warren Buffet
Was a difficult read for me. I thought it might be more interesting than it was. I stopped reading about half-way.
WHEN YOU ARE ENGULFED IN FLAMES
by David Sedaris
Ok, not great.
