Like you, I've got some fantastic project management books just begging for attention: 1. Englund. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0787963984/?tag=alecsatincom-20" rel="nofollow">Creating the project office: A manager's guide to leading organizational change</a>. 2. Brown. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0071494723/?tag=alecsatincom-20" rel="nofollow">Handbook of program management: How to facilitate project success</a>. 3. Phillips. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/0750674490/?tag=alecsatincom-20" rel="nofollow">Project management scorecard: Measuring the success of project management solutions</a>. Sometimes it's best to just get rid of all the "To read" items and start fresh. BTW, the alchemist is a good one :) Alec Hi Sreejith,
Too many books in the “to read” pile can really suck all the enjoyment out of learning!

Like you, I’ve got some fantastic project management books just begging for attention:

1. Englund. Creating the project office: A manager’s guide to leading organizational change.
2. Brown. Handbook of program management: How to facilitate project success.
3. Phillips. Project management scorecard: Measuring the success of project management solutions.

Sometimes it’s best to just get rid of all the “To read” items and start fresh.

BTW, the alchemist is a good one :)
Alec

But reading such huge volumes are not really seems like my cup of tea ! I am struggling with the book 'Alchemist' since many weeks.. still not finished.. also I have collected tonnes of books related to PM (esp, planning).. but couldn't turn a single page... Boosting my reading habit is one of the top priority new year resolutions for me ! Cheers!

John was truly the kind of person that changes peoples' lives. A reminder of how short our time can be.

I enjoyed this article and the list of John's favorite books. I have not read many of the books on the list, and my "todo" list it seems has just grown longer =) I went back to your archives and read your tribute to John as well. He sounds like a wonderful, warm person who affected you (and I am sure many others) in very positive ways. Thanks for the kind words Alec.
