Jim Takchess 2009 100+ list
In addition to reading, I listen to books on tapes on my commute so this is achievable.
I take out a piles of library books many which I decide not to complete (or start). Some actually get picked up and completed depending on my interests, whim and momentum.
I'll add some titles as time allows.
The book I am closest to finishing is:
1) Outliers
It is a quick, interesting and enjoyable read.
2) The Tipping Point
3)The Black Swan The Impact of the Highly Improbable
4)The Post-American World
5)
The Brass Verdict
6)A Working Stiff's Manifesto A Memoir of Thirty Jobs I Quit, Nine That Fired Me, and Three I Can't Remember
7)Scratch Beginnings Me, $25, and the Search for the American Dream
8)Speed Tribes Days and Nights With Japan's Next Generation
9)Sway The Irresistible Pull of Irrational Behavior
10)The Wild Trees A Story of Passion and Daring
11)Chaos Making a New Science
12)Body of Lies A Novel
13)The Gridlock Economy How Too Much Ownership Wrecks Markets, Stops Innovation, and Costs Lives
14)The Woods
15)The Cult of the Amateur How today's Internet is killing our culture
16)Boyos
17)Wikinomics How Mass Collaboration Changes Everything
A three of these I started in 08 and finished in 09:Brass Verdict, The Woods, Speed Tribes.
