#23I know I'm a little late to read this, but I've been enjoying How to Win Friends and Influence People , by Dale Carnegie. It's interesting how it objectifies social interaction with others in such short passages.
I was late to read that when I read it in 1984!

the modern equivalent of the book is "Never Eat Alone by Keith Ferrazzi"

All at the same time! How do you manage? I have tired doing that several times but I usually end of reading the one I like the most first which is why now I focus on only one book at a time.
I don't know about OWaz, but I get bored quickly, so if I read one book last night, I'm not likely to want to read the same book tonight. If I have no other book in the queue I'll probably end up reading HN on the iPad, if I do have other books, well then I'll read them.

#28I've just started three books this week. Telegraph Avenue by Michael Chabon, First Shift by Hugh Howey and Understanding Computation by Tom Stuart.

I used to read one book at a time but now I really just want to read a lot of different things. I've started forming a habit of waking up by 6:00am (I used to wake up at 9:00am only a few months ago) and reading for an hour before going into the office. Then at night when there is some time I'll read a bit more. On the weekend I will usually spend an afternoon at the library reading or programming. I don't have kids and am not married so time is not an issue.

#29Starting Washington by Paul Johnson and rereading a lot of favorites: John Boyd's biography by Coram & Seneca's Letters from a Stoic.
On the side, I am trying to finish Eisenhower's biography - 500/700 pages.
