1) Selling Retail- John Lawhon

2) Discipline of Market Leaders- Treacy & Wiersema

3) 22 Laws of Branding- Ries & Ries

All marketing/ business– great reads- lots of insight. 22 Laws of Branding is like Marketing for Dummies, but it’s so simply stated, it’s a great tool.

I’m leaving out John Jantch’s “Duct Tape Marketing” and John Battelle’s “The Search” in order to avoid accusations of conflict of interest. The 3 that leaves me with:

Master of the Senate, an LBJ biography by Robert Caro — wonderful history and a guide to negotiating from a master!

Wisdom of the Crowd, James Surowieki. It helped me understand why Web 2.0 publishing approaches (such as Digg or Metafilter or Newsvine) are better at organizing content than traditional editorial boards.

Independence Day, Richard Ford. A novel every parent should read, lest you end up as clueless as Frank Bascombe!
