Future Reading

As of right now I’m still enjoying The Four Hour Workweek by Tim Ferris, but after I’m done with this book I plan to read the following next:
The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell: “What if everything has a Tipping Point? Wouldn’t it be cool to try and look for Tipping Points in business, or in social policy, or in advertising or in any number of other nonmedical areas?”
The Intelligent Investor by Benjamin Graham: “Among the library of investment books promising no-fail strategies for riches, Benjamin Graham’s classic, The Intelligent Investor, offers no guarantees or gimmicks but overflows with the wisdom at the core of all good portfolio management.”
Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind by Shunryu Suzuki: “With beginner’s mind, we dedicate ourselves to sincere practice, without the thought of gaining anything special. Day to day life becomes our Zen training, and we discover that “to study Buddhism is to study ourselves.” And to know our true selves is to be enlightened.”
MCITP Self Paced Training Kit by Microsoft Press: “Your all-in-one kit for the skills measured by the core exams for Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Enterprise Administrator certification and on the job. Covering Exams 70-640, 70-642, 70-643, and 70-647, these four official Microsoft study guides provide in-depth exam prep plus practice tests to help maximize your performance.”
Python Cookbook by Alex Martelli: “Portable, powerful, and a breeze to use, Python is the popular open source object-oriented programming language used for both standalone programs and scripting applications. It is now being used by an increasing number of major organizations, including NASA and Google.”
