What I’m Reading

I am the most disorganized reader. I have half a dozen books, half read, and others I’ve bought and not read. Then there are those that I have read in full, so I’m not sure why I’ve not finished reading some, while I have others. It must be the fault of them authors, but then it isn’t. It’s all me, I’m a disorganized reader. Easily distracted.

23 Jul 2024—If listening counts as reading, well, I’ve just about started listening to Cybersecurity For Dummies by Joseph Steinberg on Audible. I’m on the first chapter and the entire listen is about 9 hours or so, depending on the speed you play at. I’m listening at 1.5x. This is free with the subscription, so I was like, give it a go. The other audiobook on Cybersecurity is by Harvard Business Review, which is a near 3 hour read, and I’ve kept it for later. Thought I’ll rush through this dummies first and then get serious.

14 Jul 2024—Earlier this month, or end of June, I can’t recall, I reread How to Become a Marketing Superstar by Jeffrey J. Fox. I have the first print edition of this book from 2003. Pages 46 to 83 have invaluable advice on branding and writing effectively for selling. The book is a quick read. I read 25 pages at a time and it went well.
