Default Re: What are you reading?

I'm currently reading The starfish and the spider: the unstoppable power of leaderless organizations. Fascinating book. What really struck me in the part I was reading tonight was the foundation of cigarasylum was directly in response to another site not to be named changing from a starfish to a spider organizationally. Which in the context of the analogy used in the book means changing from an leaderless organization to a traditional hierarchical organization. I realize there is a lot more to at the detail level and there was lots of drama etc... but in the big picture that is as good a synopsis as any. Fascinating read if you are into org theory and I am a bit of a nerd that way. Cheers.

A Darkness More than Night by Connelly-sort of a Harry Bosch novel.

Rereading Atlas Shrugged for probably the 25th time. Wish that Ayn Rand was still alive to read her updated commentary on the current world situation.

What I Saw and How I Lied by Judy Blundell. It's a Postman Always Rings Twice from the perspective of a 16 yr old girl. Amazing!

Started The Savage Detectives by Bolano. Just 30 pages into it-might be too high-brow for me. I will read a couple hundred pages and see what I think.
