The Company Book Club

29 Apr 2007

We’ve started a book club of sorts at work.

Second book on the ticket (I skipped the first) is The Search by John Battelle. Amazon gives it a decent review and I’ve heard of it before but never actually read it. Should be a quick read.

The idea of a company-sponsored book club is interesting.

It sounds a bit like school, we’re all supposed to read the book by a certain date, than meet over dinner after work one day to discuss. From what I’ve heard, not everyone completed the first book (a more businessey book I believe) but the general discussion went well.

With The Search I’m interesting to see if there are any different interpretations of the content (ie. Google) by the developers and marketing people in our organization.

Regardless, I’ve got to finish Dreaming in Code first. Highly recommend it as well, been a good read so far.

Like to read, code and play foosball/basketball/soccer? Maybe there’s a job for you.
