Just finished reading Chasing Tiger by Curt Sampson.Interesting book about Tiger Woods-the man and the influence he has over the game and his peers.Requires a lot patience to get through the jargon of golf.Other than that, its a great book.
Iam curretly reading Be Your Brand.This is the first time i have heard someone personalise the branding.Not about corporate image but the image of the individual as regards distinctiveness,style and deliverable.Its very insightful.

Hi ... I just finished reading Playing for Pizza by John Grisham.. I did not quite enjoy it because the language was all about American foot ball... I am not one to say a book is boring.... So i'll say I didn't click with the book. learnt a few things about Opera and a place called Parma in Italy.... Good to see that there ar more of 'US" Book Worms'... Chau every one...

I have always loved books...I just began to read some of Paulo Coelho books... and they thought provoking... they make you think about and question a lot of things you have accepted and if you can go through the process of questioning without being deceived, then you are ready to learn....

Leaders are Readers. Obama's book the Audacity of Hope is not an easy book to read. But if you have the seeds of Leadership within you would read it twice and use it as a point of reference in many future conversations or even lectures.

Whilst this book is more about the Americans, the chapter entitled "Race" has alot to say to all Black people. Obama is very skilled in showing both sides of the coin. He presents a case that makes you think as a black person. Are we learning the skills for the new information age? Or are we still living in past time paradise? Is our activities real productivity? These are some of the questions we are left to ponder over, especially when he shows you what the Asians and Eastern European young people are doing.

I am not an American so it is unlikely that I would be voting for him. But after reading Audacity of Hope, I intend to invest in all his other books. In other words he is one of my top ten Authors.
