At the beginning of the year I decided that since I was unemployed and had lots of time on my hands with no cable TV to watch that I would try my hand in reading more. I set a goal of reading 12 books in 2010. Needless to say I surpassed that without a problem. I read 16 of these books before starting my new job in March. With working at a great new job my book reading goal in 2011 will be a more modest 12 books again or one a month. You can also look at some of my reviews for these books on my LinkedIn profile by clicking here. I keep a running list on this profile since LinkedIn offers this cool feature.
Below is my 2010 list along with a link to each on on Amazon.com.

Very good goal/idea, Shad. I Googled myself a few months after starting LinkedIn and saw my profile high on the list. Did it again last night and I had alsmost vanished. I've been steadily employed but we all need an active healthy job profile - since ya never know. Adding anything to your profile, and continueing to link people, will keep you high on the Google list.
