First things first

I'll write about the LBS Open Weekend in my next blogentry, right after I finish this one, but first things first: congratulations to MBAFarbe, who just found out that she got in at IMD. Congrats, girl, you rock!
On another weblog-related note: I met up with PowerYogi last night. He's traveling through Europe and we had a rather lovely meal and lots and lots animated discussion (nearly solved all the world's problems in one meal). I had a great time and it was so nice meeting the Yogi behind the blog.

There's been a lot of playing book-tag going round, and I got tagged too (thanks Anand). I'm soooo the wrong person to ask about books.... I've studied books in my first and second degree and for a while it looked like books would become my career. I own about 800 books, of which about 350 are really precious to me and I'll keep them, the others I will sell before I start b-school. Last books I read: see sidebar (I use a one * to five ***** system to indicate how much I liked it); currently reading: see the sidebar too. I typically will read at least three books at any one time, and try to read (and succeed mostly) every night before I fall asleep.
Most influential books? Hard to tell. In a way all my books have been influential!
