What books are you reading this month?

I'd love to hear of books you have picked up recently that are related to founders and startups.

And how do you rate them?

Also, on a side note, I'm thinking it would be useful to create and maintain an ongoing list of these recommendations. I know many exist across several discussion posts and also on Twitter.

Would this be useful?

    $100 Startup - This book has amazing stories of Indie Makers all over the world, and gave me many ideas for my business.

    I started reading a book called Quiet by Susan Cain. It is not specifically targeted towards founders/startups but the information has been a real eye opener for me. I think it can be an insightful read for anyone interested in the comparison between introverts/extroverts as well as anyone in a leadership role.

    1. 2

      Yes, I read that a while back and really enjoyed it!

    Permanent Record - Edward Snowden latest' book!

    The Beekeeper's Handbook. It's a hobby that I plan to start here in Mexico with the intention of commercializing it over the next few years. I'm slowly trying to build up financial independence from having a remote salaried job in the US, and as much as I love SaaS projects, I've always wanted to own a business that's literally hands-on and involves outdoor time.

    1. 2

      Oh, that's interesting. I love seeing how people are exploring non-digital things with the hope/ideas that it could be money generating.
