If this book becomes a best-seller, the author knows what he's talking about. Otherwise, he hasn't managed to create a viral loop. (Current Amazon sales rank: 10,649).

Ahead of the Curve: Two Years at Harvard Business School

Philip Delves Broughton

Notes:

An interview with the author on Peter Day's radio program on BBC World convinced me this is worth buying. The UK version is called "What they teach you at Harvard Business School" and the author is fairly skeptical of the MBA concept ... as one probably should be.

According to the WSJ: "How a swashbuckling breed of mathematicians and computer scientists nearly destroyed Wall Street." Evil Mathematicians and computer scientists? Who could resist?

Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime

John Heilemann, Mark Halperin

Notes:

"This shit would be really interesting if we weren't in the middle of it." I'm sure this is the same thing an Icelandic economist said about our recent troubles ... Anyway, the Economist calls this a "must read" for those interested in US politics.

Getting to Plan B: Breaking Through to a Better Business Model

John Mullins, Randy Komisar

Notes:

Is it just me or do all roads lead to Clayton Christensen? The Harvard Business Review podcast had an interview with CC about "business model innovation" which seems to be what this title is about. An interview on the Business Week podcast sold me this one. (Anyone notice a pattern?)

Rework

Jason Fried, David Heinemeier Hansson

Notes:

The latest offering from http://37signals.com isn't out yet, but it will potentially be pretty interesting. After all, they did create my web framework of choice, Ruby on Rails.

How The Mighty Fall: And Why Some Companies Never Give In

Jim Collins

Notes:

Heard an interview with the author on the Business Week podcast. The book is about companies but lots of it reminded me of Iceland and the crash (e.g. "Hubris Born of Success", "Undisciplined Pursuit of More"). Now officially on the to-read list.

The Innovator's Solution: Creating and Sustaining Successful Growth

Clayton M. Christensen, Michael E. Raynor

Notes:

Clayton Christensen's "Innovator's Dilemma" is one of the best business books I've read, so why haven't I read the sequel already? Will be rectified soon after hearing two recommendations in the past two weeks.

The Master and His Emissary: The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World

Iain McGilchrist

Notes:

Came across a review about this book in the Times and it sounds interesting. The left hemisphere of my brain tells me I'll probably just wait for the movie, though.
