In The Mail
Well, actually it was in the mail several days ago. I just hadn’t gotten around to mentioning it yet. Courtesy of Rob May, I have a copy of More Space: Nine Antidotes To Complacency In Business.
Sadly, I am still reading book 11 of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, Knife of Dreams. The addiction comes first, and it appears to be the best since at least book 6. About time. It’s only going slow because I read mainly in bed, and a hardcover is tough to read that way, so I tend to put it down and go to sleep when my hand all too quickly gets sore. That and having been busy/distracted enough not to sit and pointedly read on through for hours. Last night I actually sat in the living room and read an entire chapter, but then Deb started talking about judges and her negative impression of Alito, and I got strangely sleepy. Heh. But I digress.
I thought the book looked fascinating, at a first glance, and impressively professional for what could be labeled a blogger vanity project of sorts (well, except things like this are Todd’s business). But it’s completely serious, and not your ordinary business book. Deb enjoyed the part of it she read, and is interested in reading more, despite it not being her usual thing to read business books. Obviously I can review it for real once I have, you know, read it. I just thought I ought to make people aware of it more timely to its official release.
How can you not appreciate a business book in which the first chapter, which happens to be Rob’s, starts with the sentence:
“I only need to drink five more beers.”
You should visit the More Space site, which has more info about the book and the process of creating it, and allows you to read online or download chapters from it at no cost.
