Pigs et al
Amazon.com: Books: Never Wrestle with a Pig and Ninety Other Ideas to Build Your Business and Career
I read this last year but didn't include it in the list. Quick, breezy read.
Living Resume
Amazon.com: Books: Living History
As part of my resolution to read 24 books this year, I've finished this book. It read more like a resume than a useful book. Every person no matter how remotely connected was introduced as a good friend. Every foreign dignitary was mentioned by name.
