The English Major by Jim Harrison
4.0
I had forgotten how much I like Jim Harrison. He was a favorite of mine in college. He's like Henry Miller wandering the woods of Northern Michigan. I'm not as old as the main character in the book, Cliff, but I'm starting to have the same overwhelming nostalgia that Cliff experiences and which seems to be a part of getting old. My grandfather used to tell me "Don't get old". I'm starting to see what he meant.
The Bootstrapper's Bible: How to Start and Build a Business with a Great Idea and (Almost) No Money by Seth Godin
4.0
Seth has a gift for making business and marketing fun. After reading this book it's tough going back to my gig working for the Man. The title is a bit misleading, though, because Seth makes the point that you really don't need a great idea to build a business around; you just need an idea that works and ideas that work aren't necessarily new ideas.

The Increment by David Ignatius
4.0
The dialogue was hackneyed (which wasn't helped by the Audible narrator who acted it out too much) and the plot was predictable by the end, but I really enjoyed it. I'm going to find some more books by Ignatius.
