I'm all over this post. I've been conjuring ideas about a book designed to tackle the discord inCustomer Service for the 21st century. I'm halfway through your book Pam, and it's tingled my intellect (great read by the way even for existing entrepreneurs). I truly believe the cubicle is a state of mind, and I get so disappointed when I see people provide customer service that, well, stinks! I think they've boxed themselves in some state of complacency. The concepts listed in this blog post of a book that connects with the reading audience the dots I've been seeking. Now I just need a pen. Thanks. ooohh. I’m all over this post.

Warren Buffett routinely cites this as one of his all-time favorites. Strictly speaking, it's more of an investment book than a "business" book, but the two are linked in my mind. You cannot understand business without understanding investing and vice-versa. As for more entrepreneurial books, I'd add two of my favourites. "$1000 and an idea" By Sam Wyly, and "Never Wrestle With a Pig" by Mark McCormack (who is more famous for his other book "What they don't teach you at Harvard Business School".) <abbr><em>John Christy’s last blog post..<a href="http://bravenewrich.com/2009/05/24/are-you-ready-to-be-your-own-boss/" rel="nofollow">Are you ready to be your own boss?</a></abbr></em> This is a good list, but it’s a little disturbing that “The Intelligent Investor” by Benjamin Graham wasn’t mentioned.

I couldn't help thinking that bloggers, too, should tell their readers how they will benefit by subscribing and then keep that promise. However, since it is a less linear medium, a simple mention in one place won't cut it. Have you or readers any suggestions? Also, I since only four books on entrepreneurship made the top 100 list, would you please share a few of your favorites with us?
