Good recent reads

Posted by Chris Knudsen on October 6th, 2007

Here are a couple of good books I’ve read lately that I’d recommend reading:

Stealing the Network: How to Own a Continent. A cool hacker book that is very technical but entertaining to read.

Microhydro. A cool little book about localized hydro-electric power. It was a little over my head (some sections were heavy on electrical engineering) but fun to read how people are using local hydro power to go “off the grid”.

The Power of Nice. This book discussed the power of being nice at work. A simple and true concept.

45 Things You Do That Drive Your Boss Crazy. Jason Alba recommended this book and its something that’s been on my mind lately. Its a fast read full of common sense stuff that should probably be required reading before anyone takes their first job.

  1. Since you liked the last book I recommended (Power of Nice), I thought I would let you know of another I think you will really like:

    “Made to Stick”
