The other day I took a photo of one of my bookshelves in my office. After the jump is the photo, what each book is and why it’s on the shelf.
Here is the photo:
Here are the books that are on it from left to right:
1. The Last Lecture
by Randy Pausch (Have not read this yet but I hear good things.)
2. Linchpin
by Seth Godin (Reading this right now, love Seth Godin)
3. Bluebeard
by Kurt Vonnegut (My favorite book by one of my favorite authors)
4. Story
by Robert McKee (Need to read this, occasionally intimidated by the girth of it.)
5. Sun Stand Still
by Steven Furtick (Loved this guy when I saw him at Catalyst)
6. The Element
by Ken Robinson (By the guy who gave one of my favorite talks on TED)
7. The Power of Full Engagement 
by Jim Loehr and Tony Schwartz (Would love to have Full Engagement, currently too distracted to read book, but it looks awesome.)
8. Stuff Christians Like
by Jon Acuff (You have to have a copy of one of your own books on the shelf. I hear this author is handsomer in person.)
9. A Million Miles in a Thousand Years
by Donald Miller (Latest book by one of my writing heroes)
10. Deadly Kingdom
by Gordon Grice (Love this book, really amazing collection of random information about deadly animals.)
11. Bible
by God. (Travel version. It’s got a 1 point font and requires laser beam eyes to read)
12. The Intelligent Traveller’s Guide to Historic Britain
by Philp A. Crowl (Have not cracked this one, probably keeping it on my shelf to appear intelligent.)
13. Advertising Now! Print
. Print by Julius Wiedemann (Great discourse on advertising.)
14. Hoopla
by Crispin Porter + Bogusky and Warren Berger (History of coolest ad agency in the last 20 years. Original cover is made of sandpaper.)
15. From Conception to Birth
by Barry Werth (An amazing photographic journey from conception to birth. We gave this book to our parents when my wife got pregnant. This made it to my office by accident just because it was in a box of books I unpacked.)
That’s my shelf.
