Pretty Little Mistakes: A Do-Over Novel by Heather McElhatton
I really loved this book. You make your own chooses and every time you do, it changes the end. Heather McElhatton did a great job. It is one of the best books to read at your spare time to relax your mind and have fun.

For motivation
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by William Kamkwamba
Wow. If you want to get motivated, you should read this book. It amazes you. It shows you how you can make your dream real from nothing. Having dream to build a windmill and do it from almost nothing while everybody else laughing at you like you are a crazy. Best part is that it is a true story!

Thriller
Shut Your Eyes Tight or Think of a Number by John Verdon
These both books are great. You can choose of them or you can read both. You won’t regret. These are kind of long books but once you start to read them, you just force yourself to finish them right away because you can’t stop yourself wondering what going to happen next. So make sure you have a lot of time to start to read these books. Otherwise you may see sunrise when you are done reading.

For Fun
School of Fear by Gitty Daneshvari
If you like funny books, this is the best. It makes you laugh so much. One of the funniest books I’ve ever read. Face your fears and then just laugh.

If you want to have a website or if you are just starting your online business, this is the first book you should read. Don’t Make me Think by Steve Krung is a classic and it’s been years old and still selling.

As you can understand from its name, it shows you the way to build a website. Main point is not to make your visitors think for what do to on your website, just guide them the way you want. They shouldn’t ask themselves questions like “how can I do this?”, “where do I find this” etc.

It shows you how visitors think, common design tips and what makes visitors more comfortable on your website. Great design ideas, best usability tips and more. You find everything you want to know about how a website should be.

Believe me you won’t regret reading this book and it is worth every penny for it. I read it first when I was at university and I read it again once I saw its 2nd edition online.

I found this book at Barnes & Noble by chance and decided to read it. If you are at beginner level of SEO or have no idea about SEO, it is a great book but if you are familiar with SEO, it doesn’t give you much.

I liked the way it explains everything step by step and it is really easy to understand. If you have website and want to learn about SEO a little bit, you should read this book.

It is great for beginning. It shows you on-page optimization and off-page optimization. Also it provides some good resources and tools you can use.

I don’t agree with some stuff especially about article spinning but Michael H. Fleischner is the one who is Pro of SEO, not me but it is worth to read it.

When you know the end, it is not easily read such journey, especially if it has such end. From beginning to end, I think Walter Isaacson did a great job.

At the beginning, like everybody else, you think Steve Jobs is a real j.rk. Stealing money from his friends, insulting them, not taking responsibility of his child(even trying to accuse her girlfriend as a whore not to accept his child), cutting of friends stock options, not giving credits where due, stealing ideas( even he says “Good artists copy, great artists steal – we have always been shameless about stealing great ideas.”) and so on but it is amazing how it starts everything from a garage, creating first computer, how he put together all right things, amazing communication/marketing skills.

You start to love Steve Jobs once he leaves Apple and get married. He doesn’t give up and create NeXT.  Then he create best animation company in the world named Pixar. Then he returns to Apple to save it for nothing. After that everybody knows what happens. iPod, iTunes, iPhone & iPad.

There are 2 parts I liked most about this book.

First one is his argument with Bill Gates. When he accuses Bill Gates to steal user interface of Mac computer, Bill Gates tell him “Well, Steve, I think there is more than one way of looking at it. I think it is more like we both had this rich neighbor named Xenox and I broke into his house to steal the TV set and found out that you had already stolen it.” what a great answer (:

Second part is his philosophy about simplicity (“Bringing great design and simple capability to something that doesn’t cost much. It is original vision for Apple”, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”) and what customer wants (“Customers don’t know what they want until we’ve shown them”)

But suddenly everything turns into sad story. Fighting with cancer and reading how he is dying slowly every day is really sad.

What is amazing is, when he created first computer, he had a dream that one day, computers would be size of a book and his final invitation is iPad which makes computer in a size of a book.

Sometimes I just want scientists to find a way for immortality and use it for some people. One of them is definitely Steve Jobs.

Well, it was $2.51 at Amazon Store and it is totally worth to buy it. I don’t even know why it is so inexpensive but if you want to start your own business, this is the book you must read first. It is the first book I read at once.

First of it, it starts really great. First message is “one good idea would pay for the book” and Mark Cuban recommends us to read as many books or magazines or whatever you have as you can and those will make difference for you.

Mark Cuban tells us his experience and they are all very useful. For example: “What done was done. Worrying about revenge is just a waste of energy.” When we get really pissed off, we all look for revenge but as Mark Cuban said it is just waste of time and energy.

Most funny part of books is his memory with Bill Gates. Bill Gates stole girls of Mark Cuban and what he says is “money makes you extremely handsome”. That’s the fact of the world. (: well, there is one more “If you know apple, use it. If you know vista… ask yourself why then use it.” I really wonder why he says “ask yourself why then…”  (: I guess you know it.

Other part of book I liked most is about competition. “Competition is 7 X 24 X 365 X forever. Every day some stranger somewhere in the world is trying to come up with a way to put you out of business. How cool is that?”. He also has some suggestions for you too.

Book has a lot of great sentences: “Only thing you can truly control is your effort”, “It doesn’t matter how many times you fail or you almost get it right. All that matters is that you get it right once.”, “Everyone has got the will to win; it’s only those with the will to prepare that do win” and etc.

And do you know that Yahoo! stands for “You Always Have Other Options?”

Well, final worlds. It is only $2.99 and it was on sale $2.51 at Amazon while I was writing this blog post. But for my opinion it is worth more than that. It is a short book but it has a lot of great stuff.
