Seth Godin: The Second Time Through
Seth Godin packs more punch in fewer words than anyone I know. Reading time on this post <30 seconds.

Cinema Speculation by Quentin Tarantino
If you love Quentin Tarantino, as I do, you’ll love this book — take on his favorite films. If you dislike him (you’re not alone), you may want to read this book anyway. It’s loaded with great stories and lessons about storytelling.

“Don’t try to reinvent the wheel. Just learn from the guys who have already done it well. You need a mentor, a seasoned coach who is willing to share his wisdom and experience with you. Ask someone who has already been successful to guide you.”
~ George Foreman
