Which of these books would you like reviewed most?

Here are the rules of the YGG Bookclub. 1) The book must have been read at least twice. 2) It must relate to young go getters. 3) That’s pretty much it.

It’s been a while since we reviewed a book and I’d love for you guys to pick the next one(s). I went through my library/closet and picked out a few dozen books that follow the rules above. Share your picks in the comments and hopefully we’ll be able to get a majority vote on a few books and cover the choices for a handful of upcoming reviews.

Here are the books with an Amazon link for each from left to right to help you make your decision.

Blue Ocean Strategy
Beyond Disruption
The Ten Faces of Innovation
Bang!
The Martha Rules
The Now Habit (CD version. Book I have seems to be out of print)
No B.S. Business Success
Marketing Warfare
The Tipping Point
The Big Moo
Ideaship
You’re Hired
Broken Windows, Broken Business
Brain Tattoos
Go it Alone!
Secrets of the Young & Successful
No B.S. Time Management for Entrepreneurs
How to Get Ideas

The New Psycho-Cybernetics

Radical Careering
Unleashing the Ideavirus
The Student Success Manifesto

Getting Things Done
The Art of the Start
The Origin of Brands
Whatever You Think, Think the Opposite
The Culting of Brands

Hopefully you’ll be able to pick a few books that you’ve yet to read or use this list as an introduction to some new titles. Oh, and don’t pick on me for owning The Martha Rules. I got it on clearance. Really!

    No BS time management because I have bad time management skills.

    I finished reading Why Johnny Can’t Brand (second from the right in the bottom pic) not too long ago. I really enjoyed that book and wouldn’t mind reviewing it. But I’d like these reviews to not only be of books we liked, but even a few we disliked so you get an honest viewpoint.

    If we’re able to get 10 or 20 people to pick a book in here and have bit of a majority I’ll jump on the review quickly.

    What about voluntary reviews by members of books that they have already read or is this an administrators review?

    I definitely like the idea of including books that suck because I want to know in advance if it’s a waste of my time.

    Any young go getter is welcome to review a book. If you, Aaron, or anyone else is interested let me know and we’ll set you up.

    I wouldn’t mind reviewing Start Up Nation. It’s good book for people new to starting a business.

    I forgot about that book. I only have a pdf copy that Wil sent me. Has it been printed yet?

    And yes, that’d be great if you’d like to review that. Send me an e-mail and we’ll go over it.

    For everyone else, keep picking books. It’d be nice if we could get a handful that everyone would like to have reviewed.

    Correction, Aaron caught me mixing up the books. Wil wrote Go Big or Go Home, not Startup Nation.

    I added most of the titles that I don’t already have to my Amazon wishlist.

    I am almost done reading Creating Customer Evangelists, and it’s absolutely great so far. If possible, I would be interested in writing a review for this book.
