Over time I have kept various reading lists (both what I want to read and what I have read). I’ve decided I’ll just start keeping a list here on my blog. Below you’ll find the list of books I’ve read and intend to read.
To buy books would be a good thing if we also could buy the time to read them. As it is, the act of purchasing them is often mistaken for the assimilation and mastering of their content.
- Arthur Schopenhauer
A marketing text book I can’t remember the name of that I have to look up… no really, this thing was like 700 pages.
