I have more, but I guess it's gotten big enough that I don't realize it and don't track it. Let others add, too. And yes, I own all these books, accumulated since college, and as I read three or four at a time, I take quotes, and apply them as I can.

Hey man, jeez I thought I was an avid reader Alot of the books you have on there I'm looking toward getting, especially "Art of the deal." Two books that I didn't see on your list that I recommend; that is if you don't already own them are, "The Four Agreements." by Don Miguel Ruiz and "The Purple Cow." by Seth Godin. I havnt finished the Purple Cow yet but so far its been a really good read.

 

[ethnomethodologist]

Quick and dirty, should I read these books though, stick my head in them and eat up every word, and what is in between the lines? It seems like a LOT of time that I could use to do something better, don't get me wrong, I LOVE reading books, but there are more imminent problems being called to my attention. I apologize. What for you ask, you already know, for posing this question in a thread that should stay sacred.

I have never read ONE of those books, and I believe have read many great books in my lifetime. So I am insulted none are on that list, the sad thing really is though, the real reason I bring it up is, those books I read only gave me something to hold, no face value, I couldn't hold the book above my head and make evrybody in a room be quiet. I wouldn't want to, speaking from any of the books I read, would make people laugh, I am angry, because the books I read, I wouldn't waste my time reading a second time. Literary masterpieces, of life and death, love/war, peace/harmony, all those guilded books, that I never truly understood. I couldn't wrap my head around the book, none of them ever really touched my heart. This is honest what I am saying, I hope you can hear me, and tell me I am wrong. I know I would benefit from reading these books. You brought up the subject, did the work, made a complaint, expressed you desire, and gave thanks, in two sentences. That shows it means something to you, I respect that, and I want it to mean something to me as well.

Re:

I made the list, and simply took the time to catalog what I read, reading, or have read. It's not DEFINITIVE. I would surmise that a good portion of the books would be MORE valuable DURING h.s. and college than so-called literary masterpieces that we are "forced" to read. A great work, no doubt, but it does nothing to impact one's existence or ability to succeed/survive.

I implore you to ADD, in a very simply format. By numbering, bolding, or listing. Lots of guys have RECO's, but we all BECOME what it is we think, surround ourselves with, and whom we associate with. So if you're all around tv, boozers, or sports, that's what you become.

What's the Purple Cow about? It sounds cool.

Another book to add is Thought Viruses.

Great post.

-Getting Things Done

This book is all about being organized. It's a very good read.

-As A Man Thinketh

A small inspirational book. I read it when I need a boost.

I'm big into poker and I've recently decided to take it seriously and become a winning player so i can suppliment my income. I've just purchased these books and I intend on reading them all through once, then rereading them several times when necesarry.

-Harrington on Holdem vol1&2
-The Psychology of Poker
-Inside the Poker Mind
-Theory of Poker
-No Limit and Pot Limit Holdem
-Kill Phil
-Phil Gordan's Little Green Book
-Tournament Poker for Advanced Players
-Sklansky on Poker
-Poker Essays vol 1,2,3

The Purple Cow is basically a book about business and marketing and how to transform your business...however, the points that the author bring out can be used in everyday life, etc.

 

[resilient]

The Way Of The Superior Man: A Spiritual Guide to Mastering the Challenges of Woman, Work, and Sexual Desire
by: David Deida

Great reviews and nearly 5 stars on Amazon. Cool book for DJs trying to manage these three major life going ons.

 

[MuayThai]

I haven't read loads of books but I have one which has been indespensable in my life.

Hagakure "hidden by the leaves"

A hard book to read, but brilliant.

Hey A-Unit. I noticed that Psycho-Cybernetics was #1 on your list.

Is it number 1 because you value it the most?

Why?

I too have read it and consider it to be the best thing I've ever read. I'm interested in hearing how it helped you personally and if any of the ideas it talked about led you to epiphanies.

 

[KarmaSutra]

I would also like to suggest 2 books written by Aleister Crowley:

1. Magick without tears

2. The Law of liberty


( I have The Master Therions entire catalogue if any of you would like it on PDF PM me. )

I would also like to suggest "The Tao of Pooh and The Zen of OZ."


"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."

It was just how I cataloged the book. I think all of them are EQUALLY valuable. One book, that was truly eye-opening overall was "Awareness" by Anthony De Mello.

I keep a journal, or log book, of all the thoughts, systems, and pieces I want to keep close. I can't say any one thought did it; more it was the repetition of reading different systems of thought per the list above, and doing it repeatedly.

A few more to add:

[]Das Energi
[]How to Trade Commodities
[]The Underground History of American Education
[]Don Juan by Carlos Castaneda
[]Lord of the Rings
[]Every Shot Must Have a Purpose
[]Vade Macum
[]The Intrepid Way
[]Leadership Secrets of the US Marines
[]The Sales Bible
[]The Little Red Book of Selling
[]The Psychology of Achievment
[]Mission in Commission
[]Advanced Selling Techniques
[]Brian Tracy
[]Stuart Wilde
[]Jim Rohn
[]Anthony Robbins
[]Mike Litman
[]John Commuta

It all might like seem like overkill, but when you compare TV vs reading, a cable bill is $60/month, that's 5 books, roughly, or you just go the library. I personally like to keep, own, read, reread, and mark my books. And I just grabbed cable for the football season; I intend to dump and save the cash. Basic is like $20; so the $40 is used for other stuff. To me it never seemed like alot of spending.

And books themselves only need 1 good idea to be valuable and earn you enough money to buy the book 1000 times over.

Ohh nice, seems like alot of good books there. Am gonna save that list, thanks

 

[TheNewGuy]

My thread was deleted... so I'll bump this one up.

I purchased The 48 Laws of Power today. I haven't had a chance to open it, but am hoping to finish at least law one tonight.

Does anybody have any tips on how to read books like these? I was thinking of taking notes... but it seems to be kinda excessive/too much like the "standardized no child left behind" school system that I despise.

 

[dannowillbookem]

a million little pieces.

and i wanan read atlas shrugged, its been sitting on my living room table for a while

 

[Blue Phoenix]

There is a very good book called:

"Who is pulling your strings - How to break the cycle of manipulation". It´s very useful as it shows all tricks manipulators use to deceive us. :cheer:

 

[NHY]

Good list you have there, A - Unit, I already have a few of those books, I'll be needing to dig them out and re - read them again!

Anyways, another book I might suggest to be added to your list is Tuesdays With Morrie, great read, that guy saw through the Matrix and defected it and was able to accept his own impending death gracefully, unlike others.

The 5 People You Meet In Heaven ( Its fictional sequal ) is worth reading as well, especailly for the leason on sacrifice.
