Berkonomics

Book Shorts: Summer Reading

OnlyOnce

I read a ton of books. I usually blog about business books, at least the good ones. I almost never blog about fiction or non-business/non-fiction books, but I had a good “what did you read this summer” conversation the other night with my CEO Forum, so I thought I’d post super quick snippets about my summer reading list, none of which was business-related.
