Has anybody else read this book? I just finished reading it yesterday. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! This is the second book of Lewis's that I read (Liars Poker the other) and I just couldn't put it down.

Sounds fascinating. Liar's Poker is sitting on my bookshelf right now, I've been meaning to read it for the longest time.

Right now I'm completely hooked on "Made to Stick" -- really amazing communications book.

Is there any thread on books to read prior to b-school or any interesting business related books that you guys know about? If not, we should start one :D

I would love to read the books you guys talk about - they are probably full of insight!

I am currently reading Fox's Lessons Learned at the dinner table - really enjoy his books - short to the point advice on how this HBS grad made it to what he defines as "top"! Love it!

Peace,
Jas

Jas, I love your idea about creating a 'books to read before b-school' list--this could be VERY useful! Let's chat some more about this.

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
