My favourite book – and this surprised me – was the Steve Jobs biography I don’t usually read factual books although find I do enjoy them when I do. Plan to add more factual books for 2012.
Very pleased to have reached 26 books this year and will aim for something similar for 2012. Not so pleased to have read only four from my original list – will improve for this year!
