MY Book Club
Books I Have Read and Listened To Recently
My commute is one hour each way. I could not stand the repeated songs on Z100. I decided to make a change. I am always looking for new ways to learn. I decided to take advantage of my old school CD player. This is one advantage of my 2008 truck. Audio books was the answer. I have received book recommendations from CEOs, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, friends and more. Here is the list of the books I have finished recently (with ratings and notes to come). A great audio book is one in which you don't want to get out of your car when you arrive at your destination.
