Scout’s Summer Reading List
So, summer is here and for me that means finding a good book or two to take to the beach. Since only read 5 or 6 books per year ( I know, I know), I set the bar pretty high for the vacation books.
I’m always looking for books with ideas that challenge the assumptions that I bring with me to work every day. Although, some of these books are a couple of years old, I find myself wanting to read them twice:
Outliers – Malcolm Gladwell
Mavericks at Work - William C. Taylor and Polly G. Labarre
Blink – Malcolm Gladwell
Zag – Marty Neumeir
Good to Great – Jim Collins
Tribes – Seth Godin
Twilight (just kidding!! Sorry Sara.)

How about some fiction? That’s what summer reading is all about. All the business books are great if you want to get into your clients’ heads. But some escapist fare is great too. Maybe Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace.
I saw one non-fiction book somewhat related to advertising in the window at Harvard Bookstore today — The Language of Things by Deyan Sudjic. Looks good.

I think Twilight is fine reading material! Leave Sara alone!
