I was never an avid reader growing up, in college
and especially as an adult. In March of 2004, I was about to board
a plane in Boston for a business trip to Arizona. I stopped in
the airport bookstore to grab my usual Sports Illustrated,People or 101
Ways to Play Practical Jokes on Friends and Loved Ones.
I was about to walk to the register with the latter until the 1st
book on the list below caught my eye. I was working at Putnam Investments
at the time and we were embodied in the heart of the market timing
issues that were plaguing the mutual fund industry. Assets and
people were flowing out quickly and morale was at an all-time low.
Since then, starting with that Lou's book, I have read more and
more books which have had a tremendous impact on my life. Here
is a list of some of my favorites and I hope you enjoy as much
I did.
