Hmm I have never cared to even try audio books, how is it?
Right now I am reading The Glass Bead Game by Hermann Hesse and Los Pasos Perdidos by Alejo Carpender :)

Good choice, me like ;)
Oh yea, does anyone have Steve Jobs biography? Is it worth buying? I am interesting in reading it, but there's no copies available for a half a year, none of my friends has it, and I don't want to buy a book if it's shit :grin:

Sorry, i meant Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, confused the author with another book on my desk by accident, How to win Friends and Influence people by Dale Carnegie, both are great reads in self development

What would be the point of reading a book till the end if i didn't even like the ones i've read before? ;) I never even had a book i liked before i had this one, whats wrong with that?

You can't like everything that is useful to you. I didn't say it's wrong, you can just get so much out of a so simple thing as a book.

Steve Jobs book is all over Sam's Club here in the US.  Easy to find... I was thinking about getting a copy but don't have that much time to read.

I subscribe to about 3-5 different business magazines.  I get about 2-3 copies a week and barely have time to read a few pages.

- Entrepreneur
- Business Week
- Inc 500
- Forbes
