Must read books BLOG.png

This is a very hard choice to make.
My favorite books of all time are:

  • One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
  • In cold blood by Truman Capote
  • 1984 by George Orwell
  • Harry Potter by J.K Rowling (Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince)
  • Misery by Stephen King
  • Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

ALSO

A list of CLASSIC books I think you MUST READ BEFORE YOU DIE. (It was very hard for me to choose just 20).

  • Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes
  • The Odyssey by Homer
  • War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
  • Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
  • Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
  • Hamlet by William Shakespeare
  • The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri
  • The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
  • The Complete Tales and Poems of Edgar Allan Poe by Edgar Allan Poe
  • Lolita by Vladimir Nabokov
  • The Complete Stories of Franz Kafka by Franz Kafka
  • The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
  • Invisible Man by Ralph Ellison
  • Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë
  • The Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank
  • Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
  • Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen
  • To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee
  • Wuthering summits by Emily Bronte
  • Life is a Dream by Pedro Calderón de la Barca

Also, I recommend you to read about entrepreneurs
This a very useful method to get motivated and change your lifestyle into a better one.

I'm going to divide the entrepreneurship books into two categories.

1.- FOR TEENAGE ENTREPRENEURS

There're not in order because I consider that the five of them have their unique purpose or topic even though they're all books about entrepreneurship.
This was a hard choice to make because there really is a great variety. But for young people (in my opinion) these ones will be very helpful.
You can look for them on the internet and download each of the five books in pdf.

  • Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim
  • Made in America by Sam Walton
  • Snowball by Warren Buffett
  • The obstacle is the way by Ryan Holiday
  • Elon Musk by Ashlee Vance

*I really recommend the first one because this book is very general, it gives you the motivation. It covers the basics. With this book, you'll learn how to differentiate from others and how to make the best you can with what you have.

2- FOR ENTREPRENEURS IN GENERAL

I saw a hundred of videos and read a lot of articles to choose the most recommended ones about entrepreneurship.

  • Keep any promise by Karim Ismail
  • The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss
  • The E-Myth by Michael E. Gerber
  • The lean startup by Eric Ries
  • Radicals and Visionaries by Thaddeus Wawro (very inspirational)

*The first book will help you not only in your business life but also in your personal life. It's a simple thing to read or to say but to really achieve it...

I hope this was of your interest and let me know if you've read some of the books I mentioned or if you're planning to read some.
Thank you for reading!

This is the best post on Steemit. I gave you a vote now, ya heard?

yeah 3/20 concerning the classics :D but there are so much more books, that are worth reading

Nice, I am curious about the three books you've read.

It is 1984, the catcher in the rye and the diary of a youg girl. Just mentioned that the first one wasn't on the 20's list. ^^ A classic that I want to read soon is war and peace from tolstoi

Those are great! You should read War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Tolstoi is one of my favorites.

true, we are truly what we read
