reading list

My bathroom reading has picked up speed these days (or means longer bathroom breaks) and I am finishing more books. Most of the books completed recently were some that I was postponing for maybe years because I thought it was self-help or bit cheesy, but the nice thing is I liked most of them. 1. Good to great : why some companies make the leap, and others don't / Jim Collins This was topping many of the reading lists and recommendations, but had postponed. But it was interesting read. I could use some of these advice when I start my company. 2. Tuesdays with Morrie : an old man, a young man, and life's greatest lesson / Mitch Albom Again one of those I keep seeing in top selling racks in supermarkets. But it was a good read. I only wished if I had a mentor whom I could be so close to talk so freely. This lead to whole series of day dreaming about playing mentor roles to young kids, which could be life changing for some not so blessed with educated parents or expensive schools....
