When it comes out, i am def reading the new one Gary Vaynerchuk has been working on "The Thank You Economy," we'll see it its something we do for the show or not.
I'm going to put in a vote for 4-Hour Workweek, just because I want to re-read it with the Expanded and Updated information, so this'll be a good excuse. The War of Art: Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles would be another one (because I want to re-read that too)
Kyle, awesome thanks for those!
I know Niki is into the 4-hr Work Week and I have flipped through it, but never READ it - so this probably would be a good pick! :)

HTML5 for Web Designers? I thought it was a fantastic read, and it convinced me to start working primarily with HTML5. The bit that I hadn't realized previously was the simple fact that HTML5 is usable TODAY. There's no waiting period for the browsers to support it. It works in IE6 just as well as in Safari (albeit with a lovely javascript shiv ... and I must admit, I do like the idea of shivving IE6).
Just listened to "Founders Talk" on 5by5, and Ryan Carson (Carsonified/Think Vitamin) raved about Delivering Happiness: A Path to Profits, Passion, and Purpose. It might be similar to Speak Human, but certainly seems like it'd be a good fit for the show.Nice episode on Speak Human, by the by. The first book you covered that I hadn't read - and now I'm inclined to get my hands on a copy somehow (just have to figure out where one gets books when they're not available at the library).
Kyle, this one is worth throwing down the doe to own it!
and thanks for the suggestion - we will add it to our "to read" list!
