Reading List

I have such a long reading list but it’s nearly impossible for me to get any reading done. Right now I’m making my way through Chris Brogan‘s Trust Agents. Its a very interesting read on what is happening right now with social media and the explosion on the internet. I’ll be posting some of my thoughts on parts of the book in a couple days time.

Here are some more books that I want to start reading:

1. The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown- I started this book when it first came out but I still haven’t finished it. I’ve started and restarted it a couple times. I’ve even tried “reading” it via an audiobook but that didn’t work. I think I prefer my books to be read by me than read TO me.
2. The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson- I bought this book on my most recent trip to Victoria but have yet to crack open it’s pages. I leave it in my desk at work in hopes that I would read it during my lunch hours but it never happens.
3. Unmarketing by Scott Straten- A book recently release by a prolific blogger, Scott Straten. All the reviews and hype around it’s tour makes me really want to read this book.
4. The Art of Non-Conformity by Chris Guillebeau- Another book by a blogger from a blog of the same name.  Chris Guillebeau, the man behind the book and blog, is committed to traveling to all the countries in the world. He blogs about his adventures, the people he meets and the life lessons he learns. He is able to take these lessons and apply it to real world situations that his readers are able to understand and apply.
5. The Book of Awesome by Neil Pasricha- Another blog based book. It just sounds so awesome, who wouldn’t want to read it?!  I’ve flipped through it a couple times, but haven’t had a chance to purchase my own copy.
6. Socialnomics by Erik Qualman
   - I’ve seen this book being recommended a lot lately and I really want to get my hands on it and see what the fuss is all about.

What books are your reading list?

P.S. Why are books so much more expensive in Canada??
