My bookshelf...
More than 6 months back, in the September of 2010, I wrote the post: 27 Books for L&D Folks... It's time for part 2 of the post. Since then, I have acquired a Kindle and, very recently, an iPad. Kindle has reshaped my reading dramatically--making it social and part of a larger whole, connecting me to a set of folks similarly impassioned. Reading moved from being solitary to social. I became a part of a worldwide reading club. Somehow, and social psychologists will understand this--the ability to share and connect motivated me to read more, taking me beyond my domain, making me exploratory. I thought I would share my reading list of the last 6 months here...It's a random assortment but each one has expanded my thought-process in some way. Not all are related to learning or the workplace...This time, I came up with a list of 17.- The New Learning Architect by Clive Shepherd
