Lately I found myself reading a lot... Or, more correct hearing a lot, I am a HUG fan of audiobooks, I mostly use www.audible.com. you must try, it's a life changing experiance to hear a books, suddently I can't wait to go shopping, since I can hear Seth Godin (@ThisIsSethsBlog) or Chris Brogan(@chrisBrogan) or  Malcolm Gladwell (@gladwell) talks to me for an hour :) Yap, most of the times the book author reads his own book, so he pays special attention to intonation and pass a message as reading....full list below...
Some people ask me what was that book you told me about, or i have a few days off which book should i read... so here is my latest list of book I recommend all entrepreneurs to read in order to be inspired.
