- swombat 18y agoHow about some real books? - Narziss & Goldmund, by Herman Hesse - One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marques - Crime and Punishment, by Dostoievsky - The Trial, by Kafka - L'étranger, by Albert Camus If you want to build your character, read the real stuff: fiction.
- sabon 18y agoI've read all of them except the last one. And I can assure that it's definitely a good stuff. And makes you think more than a little. Which is also a good stuff.
- speek 18y agoThe Stranger is a wonderfully annoying book. Well, the book itself isn't annoying its more the character that annoys me... and the light imagery.
- sanj 18y agoI find it hard to take an article seriously when it misspells entrepreneur.
- asdflkj 18y agoA telltale sign to me that a person is slimy is if he uses the phrase "build character". Funny--I had never been aware of this until now.
- patrickg-zill 18y agoWould add the Book of Proverbs in there if you are talking about building character.
- tstegart 18y agoIf only reading books really did build character, our nation's book reviewers would be character machines.
- known 18y agoYou are a product of your environment. --Clement Stone
- goldsmith 18y agoThese books are only slightly better than telling someone to read Who Moved My Cheese or Good to Great. You should read great books because you want a different perspective and will hopefully be entertained; don't read a book because you think it will make you a better entrepreneur.
