I just got Richard Montauk's How to Get Into the Top MBA Programs.

The book is over 600 pages! Nonetheless, I'm excited to get started on it.

Oh! and did I tell you about the GOAL?
It's one of a kind book- management guide minus novel.

a must read for every person in manufacturing and process industry.

I'm looking for Eliyahu Goldratt's other books. :)

Well. right now reading my textbooks and other material related to macro and micro economics .. Got exams in a few days time :) ..

Other than that have just finished reading "NIGHT" by Ellie Wiesel ( he is a holocaust survivor ) I would say a must read for everyone ..

Currently reading "SNOW" by Orhan Pamuk .. and Shantaram is also on my list but the size of that book keeps scaring me ..

Currently reading Getting to Yes, by Roger Fisher and William Ury. Nice intro to how to approach negotiations in aspects of your life (business, family, etc.).

I'm reading Cultural Intelligence: People skills for global business. It's by Thomas, D and Inkson, K. It's required reading for my Cross-Cultural Management class here at EGADE. This is one of my favorite classes, as it goes much deeper than telling you not to show the bottom of your foot in Latin America or describing the proper way to receive a business card in Japan. It helps you build a framework for understanding cross-cultural situations, then adapting your behavior accordingly.

If you don't have a similar class in your program, I highly recommend this book. After all, what business isn't global today?

Just re-read Mystery of Capital by Hernando de Soto.

I was reading The Age of Turbulence by Greenspan when I started studying for the GMAT... this was back at the end of January. I stopped midway through the book and have read three chapters since then... :lol:

SO, once I am done with the GMAT, I will get back to reading his book again. I will also read Bodine's book.

Currently reading "Soros" by Michael Kaufman.

I think it is a book really worth looking at. It shows you that some of the most successful businessmen and businesswomen are truly multidimensional people.
