The E-Myth Revisited
By Michael E. Gerber
The E-Myth by Michael Gerber dispels the myths surrounding starting your own business and shows how commonplace assumptions can get in the way of running a business.
Next, he walks you through the steps in the life of a business — from entrepreneurial infancy through adolescent growing pains to the mature entrepreneurial perspective: the guiding light of all businesses that succeed — and shows how to apply the lessons of franchising to any business, whether it is a franchise or not.
Finally, Gerber draws the vital, often overlooked distinction between working on your business and working in your business.

The Richest Man in Babylon
By George S. Clason
What can a book written in the 1920s tell modern entrepreneurs about their finances?
A whole lot if it’s George Clason’s delightful set of parables that explain the basics of money.
This is a great read for anyone who seems baffled by the world of finance (especially in these economic times) and a wonderful, refreshing read for even the most experienced investor.
Another big bonus, you can read it during a single long-haul flight.

The Help
By Kathryn Stockett
A DEEPLY MOVING NOVEL WITH MUCH HUMOUR!
In Jackson, Mississippi, in 1962, there are lines that are not crossed. Black maids raise the white children, but no one trusts them not to steal the silver. Black maids clean the toilets, but they have their own at the back of the house.
Twenty-two-year-old Skeeter has just returned home from college: she may have a degree, but her mother won't be happy until Skeeter has a ring on her finger. She would normally find solace with her beloved maid Constantine, the woman who raised her, but Constantine has disappeared.
Aibileen is a black maid, a smart woman raising her seventeenth white child. Something has shifted inside her since the death of her own son, who died while his bosses looked the other way. Aibileen's best friend is Minny, short, fat, and perhaps the sassiest woman in Mississippi. She can cook like nobody's business, but she can't mind her tongue.
A deeply moving novel filled with poignancy, humour and hope, 'The Help' is a timeless and universal story about the lines we abide by, and the ones we don't.
