as every author of such a book including myself - the book you write

[GuyBBY]

This question on a site like this will probably receive a lot of "too many to list" responses. So, let me be the first to say...there are too many to list.

A great book that I suggest to anyone that has ever made or spent a dollar in their life, is "Greed Is Good" by Jonathan Hoenig. This is not an entrepreneurial based read, nor some financially sophisticated lecture on paper, but rather an extremely eye opening, colloquial, funny and straight forward book regarding savings, investing, and how to prepare yourself to be financially stable in your life. The author will break things down to show you what we all normally take for granted, and how the money spent on that cup of coffee in the morning could be a summer house in 10yrs. It changed the way I saved and invested, and I thought I was doing well prior to reading it.

For LLC and start up situations, "The Small Business Bible" by Steven D. Strauss (Amazon.com: The Small Business Bible: Everything You Need To Know To Succeed In Your Small Business: Steven D. Strauss: Books) or "Forming an LLC: In Any State" by Michael Spadaccini (Form An LLC in Any State by Michael Spadaccini he is a lawyer...published by Entrepreneur Mag) were my saving graces on some issues and allowed me to cut to the chase and save time, whether by explaining how to do something myself or at least pointing me in the right direction from the get go.

As for leisure reading, I am not a big "book" guy. I like journals, topic magazines (Fortune, HBR, etc), even good ole Mad magazine makes an appearance. Catcher in the Rye, A Separate Peace, and The Great Gatsby were amazing.

I really like the cat in the hat

Oh...it has to be about business...

It is hard for me to read books about business, when I get use the internet to find any topic I need in the form of an article, plus all the books I read are about web design and programming.

Hmm...maybe I should pick up a business book now that I think about it..

Hands down the best book recently is the 4 Hour Work Week that this self confessed work-a-holic is trying to work into his life!

Richest Man in Babylon and Rich Dad Poor Dad are my 2 favorites.

[kenpachi]

My favorite book is "the Secret", i already watch the video but the feeling of law of attraction is much greater when we read it.

There are a lot of good books out there but in terms of "business" books i have recently read, i like The Art of the Start and Never Eat Alone. Both worthy reads.

[GuyBBY]

Art of the Start is great! It came for free with Business Plan Pro 2007.
