Ready Player One!

It's pretty rare to find a book that I truly enjoy reading.  This enjoyment can best be described by the feeling that I cannot put the book down and I must keep going.

That feeling was alive and well when reading Ready Player One, by Ernest Cline.


The book is fiction, but takes the reader through a great story, and, if you grew up in the 1980's, you will get an extra bonus - the feeling of nostalgia.   All of the great things about being a kid in the 80's will come back to life.

I won't ruin the story for you, but suffice it to say that this book took me to a similar place as when I read Snowcrash, by Neal Stephenson.

This is possibly the best book I have read in several years.  It's both easy going, and full of excitement.

Thank you, Sunil, for introducing this book to me!

Drive



Are you Type I or Type X?

This book is well worth a read.  If you manage or lead people, learning about Motivation 3.0 may be the difference between success and failure.
