On the Shelf

I'm reading - and so far enjoying - I Didn't See It Coming:The Only Book You'll Ever Need to Avoid Being Blindsided in Business by Nancy C. Widmann, Elaine J. Eisenman, and Amy Dorn Kopelan and Success Built to Last by Jerry Porras, Stewart Emery, and Mark Thompson.

I'll soon be posting reviews on both of those.

I've also been reading
In the Company of Soldiers by Rick Atkinson. It gives an very interesting portrayal of General David Petraeus prior to his appointment to head the "surge" in Iraq. To call him an extremely impressive person is to make an understatement. Some tidbits: He has a PhD in International Relations from Princeton University and completed Ranger School. The Ranger School only gives three awards to its honor graduates in each class. Petraeus won all three.
