📚 Books
📚Just bought Work/Life Flywheel by Ollie Henderson for 99 cents on the Kindle store … launch promotion.
📚Just added The Housekeeper and the Professor by Yoko Ogawa to my ‘want to read’ list - recommended by a long time friend from my Uni days.
Dear Abby
🎶🎵 Recently heard a superb conversation with Chris Spedding. Current📚 is by Jarvis Cocker. Just finished listening to Guy Pratt & Gary Kemp talk with Richard Hawley and now Zane Lowe talking with Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys.
Am I a closet ‘Sheffy’?
I was given Good Pop, Bad Pop by Jarvis Cocker 📚for my birthday - which was months ago. I can finally start it, now that Strike is struck off.
Finished: Troubled Blood (Cormoran Strike, #5) by Robert Galbraith 📚
‘FINALLY’ … It might seem like one book - in fact it is bound like one - but when you hit quad pages - someone should call an editor.
Adding Becoming Steve Jobs: The Evolution of a Reckless Upstart into a Visionary Leader by Brent Schlender 📚 to my reading list. An unofficial biography lauded by the Apple leadership … comp to the Isaacson story is needed.
📚 Email Marketing Rules by Chad White features in my next newsletter, the link takes you to where you can buy it. I have used the cover from the original book. It is now on the third edition.
I subscribe to lots of 🎙podcasts knowing there is not enough time to listen to them all (even at ‘warp speed’) because I find interesting guests that aren’t doing the usual ‘publicity rounds’.
Just this morning;
Cannot wait to get my hands on Fairness and Freedom by David Hackett Fischer 📚… I had never thought of that distinction before.
In the last 📚Reader’s Republic, I said England (not the UK) suffers from many things, not least of which is an identity crisis.
I just stumbled across this.
Tolkien’s Writings Were a Mythology for the History of England
(Yes I need to get the RR notes published, sorry!)
📚Ten.
Is that too many books to be reading ‘at once’?
Saving grace:
I am well aware that I haven’t even opened at least four of them since I first put this list up!
And another four got added today and I haven’t opened them either. They are just ‘looking at me’.
Just added Stakeholder Capitalism by Klaus Schwab 📚 to my reading list. It has been in my head for a while - but now it is on the list!
I am thoroughly enjoying Severance, even though they spell ‘Keir’ ‘Kier’.
I’m at the part in the series where I am sensing the channeling of aspects of Peter Currell Brown‘s 📚Smallcreep’s Day.
Anyone else get the connection?
📚If you like books - you might enjoy
Just been recommended Focus: The Future of Your Company Depends on It by Al Ries 📚- so of course have added it to my ‘Want to Read’ list …
5th Session of 🖇️ 🔎The Readers Republic starts in 25 minutes … live conversation with a few of us across 3 continents who like to read books … let me know if you’d like to join us .. I’ll send you the zoom link.
Thankyou @gpittman for the recommendation … You’re It: Crisis, Change, and How to Lead When It Matters Most by Leonard J. Marcus 📚
