| Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - S.Covey
The best self-development/business book I have ever read. The summary of the 7 habits are still on my fridge 6 years after discovering the book! I have lost count of the number of times "seek first to understand" has saved me from putting my foot in it. |
| Dirty Weekend - Helen Zahavi
Men beware, the worm has turned! A superb first novel which united women worldwide (and men who hate violence against women) |
| The Dice Man - Luke Rhinehart
Why do I drink tea each morning? Why do I get dressed? Why is it not ok to break the law? Who's laws are they anyway? What if I have my own law - the law of the dice ... A shocking, provocative, sometimes disgusting book which takes us out of our narrow minds and away from routine, habit and convention. |
| The Drama of Being a Child - Alice Miller
The kind of book you think was written about you the empathy is so strong. |
| The Dilbert Principle - Scott Adams
Also see the web site (in David's favourites) - the guy is a genius! |
| Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - Robert Pirsig
First exploration into philosophy for the layperson, but don't expect to speed read it. Makes Mensa tests look like ABC! |
| The Runaway Jury - John Grisham
A gratuitous best seller to end with . Not literary excellence but Grisham does tell a damn good story and I can't help but adore a book where [Zoe gives away the plot here, so I deleted this portion. Suffice it to say that she offers cigarette manufacturers abuse in this sentence - ed.] |
