An Embarrassment of Riches

In the last week I finished both my MBA program and Infinite Jest. The former took longer than the latter, but seriously not by much!

On my list:

What Matters Now: Seth Godin + a ton of great contributers

A Brief Guide to World Domination: Chris Guillebeau

How to Bring a Product to Market: Venture Hacks interview with Sean Ellis
