50 Books Project


11 May 2008

“A home without books is a body without soul.”
–Marcus Tullius Cicero

I’m planning to read 50 books between June 2008 and May 2009. Read the Prologue, Part 1, from May 12, 2008 to learn what this is all about.

You’re welcome to follow my progress. The titles I plan to read are shown in the Google Spreadsheet below and also separately here. Look for regular updates on the blog as well. Titles for the current month will be shaded in green, completed titles will be shaded in blue, and titles on which I’ve fallen behind will be shaded in red.

    Why does the list only consist of how-to McBooks? A good piece of literature will let you discover how-to rather than simply be told how-to.

    Excellent. My wife and I seem to horde books but I’m not good at getting through them. Not making time, basically. Perhaps posting a spreadsheet like this publicly would help. Nice idea.

    Also, thought I’d mention, there is a service that lets you read books by RSS or Email. These are works in the public domain but it is an interesting way to nibble a way at classics. Blogged about it here: http://is.gd/p9P

    Try out http://www.goodreads.com a great website to track your books, maybe a little easier than a spreadsheet? I dunno. A suggestion, I like the site. Plus it will be nice to find other suggestions after you get through this 50, you can bump it up to 60 next year ;)

    The Wealthy Barber and E-Myth Revisited were both good. Enjoy the reading.

    Skip “The World Is Flat” If you know how a computer works. It looks like you do.
