Call for Professional Reading Lists

[USMC-03]

You are an MBA grad student? I suggest The 4-Hour Work Week by Timothy Ferriss, his philosophy is not for everyone but there is at least something in the book for everybody. His time management tips are worthwhile alone.

Looked up Timothy Ferriss for my Kindle; thanks for the tip. I've been reading a lot of Peter Drucker and Warren Bennis over the past couple of years so it will be interesting to compare.

I read from your intro that you are learning to apply Sun Tzu and Liddell Hart to the business world, so you might be interested in Paul Howe's Training and Leadership for the Fight.

...Also, anything Kilcullen makes for good reads.

I marked Howe's book also, looks interesting. I've had Kilcullen's The Accidental Guerrilla on my long list for a short while, I'll move it up.

I've also been delving into Small Wars Journal articles little by little as I have a bit of free time; almost always learn something.

Man, if I lived in Portland I'd be dropping some serious coin at Powell's.

Powell's; been there, done that…

Going to take a little while to look all those you recommended Sergeant T; I'll get there though, thanks.

I'll throw out a few of my own favorites for everyone's consideration:

Thunder Over the Ochoco by Gale Ontko
Chasing Villa by Maj. Frank Tompkins
The First and the Last by Adolf Galland
The Mystery of Capital by Hernando De Soto

And for a bit of fiction:

The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay
