The Lifelong Learner         by Stanley Kubasek | About Me |

My goal this year is to read/listen to 10-20 non technical books (and 10-15 technical books). Last year, I was able to listen to 13 books, My 2006 Book List. I don't have too much time to actually read non-technical books so I use most of my commute time to listen to audio books. It's a great use of down time. Use it as the learning time. :-)

What do I want to read/listen this year? I love autobiographies, so I'll probably listen to couple of those. I also like a motivation book from time to time. History books? Yes, I actually like them. I learned a lot about how America was founded by listening to autobiographies of the founding fathers. Good stuff.

What are the best books I listened to last year? There are three that stand out: Authentic Leadership, Life and Times of Benjamin Franklin, and Alexander Hamilton.

As I said before, I don't buy audio books any more. I rent them from my local library for free.

I love to learn and reading is a great way to learn.
