About 2 weeks ago I finished reading the first fictional noval I've read in about 6 months.  The book is Deliver Us From Evil by David Baldacci and, in brief, it was pretty much like every other Baldacci book I'd ever read.  The guy seems to have a repeatable formula for story telling that works so, as they say, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

So, since I'd finished the book, I was in the middle of pondering what to read next when someone (thanks RGD) recommended Behind the Cloud by Marc Benioff.  It's the story of Salesforce.com and the birth of the cloud computing movement.  I'm about a third of the way into it and so far have found it to be a pretty quick read.

Then, out of the blue, two co-workers decided to visit Amazon and buy me a book.  One person bought me The Why of Work by David Ulrich and someone else bought me Switch:  How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip Heath.  Everytime someone buys me a book I'm always torn wondering about their intentions.  Are they trying to stealthly point out my personal areas for improvement (e.g. "flaws") or are they simply trying to keep me entertained?  Who knows.  Regardless, I haven't started reading either yet but will as soon as I'm done with Benioff's book.

Also, yesterday I ordered The Art of War.  I'd always wanted to read it but for some reason never did.  Maybe that's what I'll read next.
