I received an Amazon gift certificate for Christmas, which I put to good and quick use. Just arrived today:
Tribes: We Need You to Lead Us (Seth Godin)
Outliers: The Story of Success (Malcolm Gladwell)
The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable (Nassim Taleb)
Due to be released next week is Jesus, the Final Days: What Really Happened from N.T. Wright and Craig Evans, so that's definitely going on the Wish List.
I think it's going to be a good year for books!






I got the Tribes book as part of the TED book club. It sits on top the pile that must be read, partially because it's the shortest one in the pile. I hope to get to it soon, assuming the pile doesn't topple and kill me in the interim.

You gotta like those short ones!
I hear you on the pile. Mine is currently supporting our ceiling, what with all the snow and water on it...
