What books my friends read this summer
I asked on Twitter and Friendfeed, here are my friends recommendations for a book this summer, thanks! By doing this collecting feedback exercise I noticed Twitter search missed most of the replies, weird. Anyway, these are more recommendations I can handle but I love learning what my friends are up to. It looks like nobody is reading the same book which in a way is interesting, it shows great diversity versus the traditional charts you find anywhere. If the same book would have been quoted 3-5 times I would have run buy it though.

udate: oyvind says "have you considered using Shelfari to list your read/going to read book lists. See mine at http://shelfari.com/oyvind" I think it is a great idea.jangles @loic morning/evening Loic. Best book I've read this summer: 'Maximum Impact.' Not a business book, an SF novel.
