Non-Fiction:
The Four-Hour Body by Tim Ferriss
Ferriss left me thinking a lot about hacking in 2011. Not just one’s body, but everything. I didn’t put much of this into practice in 2011, but for 2012, I’ll be trying more of it.
Crush It! by Gary Vaynerchuk
Left me saying “fuck yeah!” and inspired me greatly. This is one of those, like King’s On Writing… that I will probably read every year or two.
SuperFreakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner
Didn’t have the same impact as the first.
What the Dog Saw: And Other Adventures by Malcolm Gladwell
Gladwell continues to be one of my favorite non-fiction writers, and this is a collection of his shorter essays. Good stuff.
