Top 2008 Business Books
Closed Published by Business Networking in Austin Blog October 30th, 2008 on Business Networking in Austin BlogI am a huge fan of business books. They’re about all I read unless I’m on vacation. As a lover of business I find just about every book in this category to be mentally stimulating.

I have a friend who likes to send me links from StuffWhitePeopleLike.com. I click and read out of duty. Occasionally, I will laugh. But this morning, after skimming the Full List of Things White People Like, I became curious about Christian Lander’s statistical source. I mean, who’s to say that the majority of white people […]
