Books to Read in 2008
Last post, I shared with you what I read in 2007. This time I’d like to reveal some of what’s on tap for reading in 2008.
My life’s a bit more busy now than a year ago so this will be a stretch, but why not shoot for the stars, right?
Goal: 16 books.
Here are the 4 out of 16 that I most look forward to reading in 2008:
by Ram Charan
I’ve heard good things about this book as it boils being successful in business down to simple, reasonable, and understandable metaphors. The sweet science of making money at business unveiled.
by Ori Brafman
Like it or not, the world is becoming more fluid and flexible. This book takes an interesting stance that there are two types of businesses: ‘spiders’ (full or hierarchies and top-down mentality) and ‘starfish’ (peer relationships and collaboration seize the day).
by David Beckham
This had to make the list. (Christmas gift from my Mom, a voracious reader — thanks Mom!)
Seriously though, I am intrigued to learn what makes this soccer phenom tick. Let’s hope he can bring some spark to American soccer interest now that he’s playing here in the States on a regular basis.

I’ve really taken a keen interest in business investing since I read Graham’s ‘The Intelligent Investor’. This book comes highly recommended as a classic view into the minds of the superb investments philosophies of Ben Graham, Warren Buffett, John Templeton, and Phil Fisher. Here’s to consistently profitable investments.
That’s all for now. Time to read.
