I recommend you go buy some comics.. cos they're so much more fun to read

it's the perfect combination - excellent storylines and amazing art

I love comics but I need some constructive stuff. I've been slacking big time and I need to motivate myself to focus on what needs to be done.

hahaha...well as long as you make sure to keep something fun on your reading list! All work and no play makes for a dull pradaboy!!

Have you read the first Infinite Crisis yet? Big movement gonna happen in the DC universe again!

Also, even though it's not business.. I found the Nelson Mandela biography (Long Walk to Freedom ) to be very interesting as well as inspirational.

GTS Mark · 10-13-2005, 02:29 PM

Rich Dad Poor Dad (entire series of books is good but origional is best)
The Millionaire Next Door (Interesting read on spending habits of the rich)
How To Win Friends And Influence People (outstanding book that I read again before I go to any convention hehe)
Straight From The Gut - Written By Jack Welch former CEO of GE)
The Richest Man in Babylon

These are all great reads

I was a huge Marvel Comics fan when I was younger, now I never get around to reading comics anymore. Too much studying and stuff.

DH and everyone else thanks for the suggestions, most have been added to my "to-read" list

Dave Ramsey - The Total Money Makeover

A lot of basic stuff but he spells it out clearly - live below your means and mass savings, don't use credit, don't buy new shit, don't "keep up with the Joneses." He quotes The Millionaire Nextdoor alot.
