Every year I make a list of books I plan to read during the year. I pick them either from curiosity or my desire to understand a subject. Last year the main subjects were Social Media, Social Marketing, Networking and Web 2.0. This year I plan to increase my knowledge of Web 2.0 Technology, Web 2.0 applications, and Community building. Of course, I still plan to read books on the subjects of Personal Marketing & Guerilla Marketing.
MrWes’ booklist for 2010

- Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?
by Seth Godin
In case you’re wondering whyI chose this list of books. I was recently introduced to Seth Godin through a blog. I read Purple Cow and found his book relevant, entertaining and informative. I’ve heard good things about the Tribes book and the much anticipated Linchpin. I came across the other books either through referrals or watching video blogs. All of the reviews of the published books have been positive.
