An unusual “Best of” in Web2.0 times

Do you remember old school media?

In times of loads of Web-2.0-Best-of-Lists (for Blogs, Webpages,…) we offer something quite strange:

A list of brilliant books we read recently.

YES BOOKS! WE REALLY MEAN BOOKS! THESE BULKY THINGS MADE OUT OF REAL PAPER!

We figured out, that a good part of the ideas we develop, decisions we take and strategic moves we make can be somehow traced back to books we have read. The Internet environment is a great place to find fast and up-to-date information. It’s daily business to keep up with it. But the slow media has its place to.

Reading a book always allows us to take a birds-eye-view on our ideas, rethink our course, our decisions and our motivation.

Does reading a book gives you inspiration too? Then go ahead…
