An Aside - Fall Reading List

Among the blogs I've been suggested to get into the habit of reading is Seth Godin's a bestselling author of ten books (10?!?) about marketing and business. Today what caught my little eye was a list of books he posted today, all interesting recommendations.

I'm a hard person to sell books to, especially new ones off of Amazon, but here are some whose descriptions sounded too intriguing to not take notice of.

Exploiting Chaos: 150 Ways to Spark Innovation During Times of Change

From the Trendhunter guy!




The Ramen King and I: How the Inventor of Instant Noodles Fixed My Love Life

Funny, poignant and apparently true. I couldn't put this one down. (and there's even marketing in it).



No Impact Man: The Adventures of a Guilty Liberal Who Attempts to Save the Planet, and the Discoveries He Makes About Himself and Our Way of Life in the Process

It's finally here. The chronicle of a year-long experiment that will make you really think about your footprint on the planet.

by: Colin Beavan



Made to Stick: Why Some Ideas Survive and Others Die

Of course you've already read this one, but if you haven't, here's your chance.

Seeing Is Forgetting the Name of the Thing One Sees: A Life of Contemporary Artist Robert Irwin

Dense, a little scattered and occasionally riveting, this book may change the way you think about art, forever.

by: Lawrence Weschler




I'm always looking for book recommendations, especially from some one far more experienced in the marketing field than I am. Despite my interest in it, I am still a novice at heart.

Another issue is when exactly I'll be financially able to afford 5 new books. How long until the turnover when they'll be available at the local used book store?
