I'm, as always, in the middle of reading multiple books because I get bored so easily these days... But I guess I don't feel guilty about it anymore ever since I went through John's Insight Exposed (sucks for you if you didn't buy it when I promoted it). Anyway. Tell me what you're reading 👀 Don't even have to be business-related or nonfiction. Normal fiction, trashy fiction, steamy hentai... anything goes.

Many, many years ago, I was reading "Norwegian Wood" by Haruki Murakami, and in it, there's an exchange between our very average main character, Toru Watanabe, and his more dashing and charming friend, Nagasawa, that left a deep, deep impression on me. Both Watanabe and Nagasawa are loners, offbeat characters, who have little in common with their peers, including the books they read. When Watanabe comments on Nagasawa's favorite authors (Balzac, Dante, Joseph Conrad) not being very "fashionable," Nagasawa replies with: "That's why I read them! If you only read books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking. That's the world of hicks and slobs. Real people would be ashamed of themselves doing that. Haven't you noticed, Watanabe? You and I are the only real ones in the dorm. The other guys are crap." --- Of course, this is a work of fiction, and in the world of fiction, a character can be rude and declare the rest of the world crap... Even so, I think there's merit in reading things nobody else is reading. So, my question to you... let's maybe help each other find books that are not on Amazon's best-selling list or worse, on the New York Times' best-selling reads. And to keep things from going out of control, let's stick with books that taught you the most about marketing, selling, doing business, or writing in general. Even if the books weren't marketed as such. I'll start 👇

EDITED: We now officially have a book club. This should be fun and not a chore, so... You pick your own book. Read at a pace that fits your lifestyle, and when you're done, come here, share your insights, reviews, highlights, and whatever else you want. Make sure to post under the "Book Club" category. -------------------------------------------------------------- Original message: Wondering if I should start a book club... But instead of everyone reading the same book, we pick whatever we want to read, and then share insights/ideas/reviews... Thought 🤔?
