I have somehow managed my personal time well enough to complete The New CIO Leader by Marianne Broadbent and Ellen Kitzis.
At first I was disappointed with this book, however with further reflection I think it has more to do with the narrow topic I was interested in exploring than the actual contents.

I have completed my book report of Balancing Your Family, Faith & Work by Pat Gelsinger.
Who would I recommend this book to? This is difficult for me to say as I don?t know the extent in which others struggle with this topic. To me this was one of the most significant books I?ve read. Seemingly everyone should read this book, but especially those newly married or soon-to-be-so. Those especially who prioritize work first in their life. The harder working, more determined you are to succeed in the business world ? the more you need to read this book to ensure that you reach your goals and reach the ultimate goal of your place in the eternal kingdom of heaven...

I have completed my bookreport of Art of War by Sun Tzu.
I am not sure why I bought this book other than to itch a curiosity I have had over its contents. Having read it I am not sure that I can effectively provide commentary. I have provided some quotes from the book I found insightful especially when read with a competitor in mind. This book report is by no means a thorough summary...
Here is my book report for The E-Myth Revisited:Why Most Small Businesses Don?t Work and What to Do About It by Michael E. Gerber
As the title states, this book is about Small businesses and the lack of an organized foundation on which the company is built. The book uses an interview/story of a woman and her small retail store to illustrate the points in the book.
