I always enjoyed reading, however what I read has changed quite a bit over the last 7-8 years. I usually enjoyed a big amount of fiction compared to non-fiction however that have changed and the non-fiction have completly taken over even tough I enjoy the occasional fiction every now and then…when I have the time.
If you follow me you probably noticed my recommendation for Metaskills by Marty Neumeier a couple of weeks ago.
Gathered under “Booktip” I will try to recommend as many of the books I can that I´ve read over the years. Of course on par with what this blog is about, branding, design and all that can possible relate to that good or bad, high or low.
First out is a book I read a couple of years back. It was the very first book I ever bought for my iPad in the Kindle store. Will go into detail about Kindle and my relation to that in a nearby future. (Just wanted to say that I am totally hooked on that experience since my first purchase)
Back to the book, the book I bought was Rework written by the team behind the company 37-signals (Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson) with products sucesses such as project-platform Basecamp in their portfolio.
The basic outline is the new business book for the new type of entreprenuers out there. They authors state that anyone can start a business and they have some tips and great insights to this.
Without beeing to longwinded, why should you read it?
Basically if you as I am am interested in what tomorrow has to offer and want to work in a front-assembly company this is the book you need to read. Not for all the guides how-to. But for the reading between the lines experience and the inspiration that gave me. It excels your own thoughts and ideas.
Now a couple of years old, and I just re-read it, nothing new came up but it left me with the same inspiration as the first time and eager to spot ahead. Which atleast in my case grants as a proof of a good book.
To quote mr Seth Godin: “Stop reading the review. Buy the book.”
Do so!
