With so many good games out this year, 2007 was rough for reading. Far below my 2-books/month target, I only managed to get in 16 total titles this year (vs 26 in ‘06 and 22 in ‘05). Oh well.

Anyway, here’s what I read over the past twelve months:

Also, I just started reading The 4-Hour Workweek, but I’ll likely not finish it until the new year…

In particular, Wikinomics and The Future of Work provided massive insight into future work/business structures and meta level hints at the sweeping changes to come in how companies are structured and people get stuff done.Generation Kill and The Ghost Map, both historical recountings, were real page turners - even though I don’t generally read that style of book.

There’s also a few self-help books in there and stuff specifically related to my work managing the IGDA (most of it pretty dry/didactic, but massively helpful nonetheless).

Manufacturing Consent was a dense read, but man, Chomsky is whip smart. I’d like to read more of hist stuff…

Finally, The Ultimate Question was profound in expressing the need to have metrics for customer loyalty/satisfaction. Meaning, measuring profit alone doesn’t necessarily mean your customers are happy. Lots of powerful stuff in that one.

Anyway, enough about books, I’m off to assassinate Robert de Sable…
