book buying spree

Categories:

I’m just sitting in the airport lounge in Seattle waiting for my flight back to London. Made a ‘flying’ visit out here for a few meetings yesterday so the trip has only been for 3 days. Not enough time to get over jetlag! Anyway I’ve been buying a few too many books, I think I’m addicted to it! Very strange as when I was at school I hated reading. I guess it’s because they make you read their boring crap back then ;-)

So here’s what has been purchased this trip!

Getting to Yes

The design of everyday things

The non-designers design book

Influence: the psychology of persuasion

Only available in the US so I had to get here:

What your customers want to know

Bought on a whim at the airport:

Leaving Microsoft to change the world

Microsoft 2.0

Little black book of Connections

Little red book of Selling

 

The first batch were ones Joel mentioned in the Stack Overflow podcast (a great podcast to listen to btw)

Luckily just before I left the UK I bought a book on speed reading :-) I’ll post a review of each as they are read.

I’m going to do a post soon on my top ten books you should read if you’re interested in doing something like Lightning Tools…
