What’s in your backpack?
OK, I admit it. Now that it’s summer, my reading list is much heavier on the “fun” side of things. However, I still at least make an effort to read a few books here and there that apply to my professional life.
When I can put down the latest from Laurie Notaro and get serious, here’s my list of recent and proposed reading:
Made To Stick I haven’t read this one yet, but would like to. Anyone else read this?
Net Words: Creating High-Impact Online Copy This is a great reminder of the rules behind good online copy. It’s also a good primer for folks new to online copywriting.
Waiting For Your Cat To Bark Some interesting recommendations on shifting marketing to better align with today’s in-control consumers of emerging media.
The Web Content Style Guide Even as a nerd-o content geek, I cannot bring myself to “read” this book. But it is good to have around.
Since I assume that everyone carries a backpack to and from work that contains reading material for your bus ride to work (like I do) — do tell: What’s in your backpack?

I liked Made to Stick. Professioanl SEO with PHP is great if you’re into the technical side of optimizing sites.

Right now The Long Tail by Chris Anderson is in my bag but I haven’t had a chance to read it yet and it’s about due back at the library. I guess I spend too much time reading Rocky the Mudhen by Sam Shane and Dan Marso.
