And has a fabulous cover.
And a great title.

This is probably a good book-club book.
.
The next book I read with interest, again with my book club in mind...

.
And last, in keeping with the theme I had going this week, I read through this book (that I picked up from a used book store about 4 years ago) to see what recommendations it would have for me. (Instead of writers talking about the-one-book-that-changed-everything, this book has comments from professionals, like, Presidents of large companies (Nike), professional athletes, professional speakers, executives, musicians, actors, and so on.)

.
"Show me the books he loves and I shall know the man far better than through his mortal friends." S Weir Mitchell
.
"The choice of books, like that of friends, is a serious duty. We are responsible for what we read as what we do." John Lubbock
.
See? I told you this would be fun.
.
"Setting aside just 15 minutes a day will enable you to read up to two dozen books in a year. Keep it up and you will have read 1,000 books in your lifetime. That's the equivalent of going through college five times." G. Gordan
.
"A man's reading program should be as carefully planned as his daily diet, for that too is food, without which he cannot grow mentally." Andrew Carnegie
.
... and lastly -"There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read." G.K. Chesterton
