I’ve got a couple of books on my desk that I’m craving to read! The problem is, lately I’m lacking the time to sit quietly and enjoy them:
- Founders at Work, by Jessica Livingston
- The Best Software Writing I, selected and introduced by Joel Spolsky
- Eric Sink on the Business of Software
- Options, Futures and Others Derivatives, by John C. Hull
- Financial Instrument Pricing using C++, by Daniel J. Duffy
One of the good things (maybe the only one) of commuting from Lausanne to Geneva every day back and forth, was the delightful hour of peaceful reading that you get. In the 4 years that I’ve done that, I’ve read more books than in any other time of my life.

Como te envidio esos cuatro años de 10 horas de lectura en paz por semana pordios! Nooooo, no quiero ni pensar en la cantidad de libros que debes de haber leido, sadico! :-) Uno de los pocos que yo logre leer ultimamente fue Scott Berkun, The art of project management. Pienso que dado tu campo de actividades te puede interesar, si es que no lo leiste ya. Berkun tiene un sitio donde publica ensayos sobre management, etc. Muy interesante. Ah, y un blog tambien. http://www.scottberkun.com

Here’s another one for you, in case you haven’t already read it: The Long Tail by Chris Anderson. Brilliant musings on online economics from Wired magazine’s chief editor. Cheers, David

Thanks for the book reference David! I’ll get a look at it soon. By the way, I’m finishing Founders at Work… and you should really really really get it and read it!!! It’s an awesome, inspiring book.
