Quick Hits, is a way to blast out a couple of recommendations music, books, food, movies or otherwise. Hope you enjoy.
I am currently in the midst of reading three books. I will admit that the reason I am reading three is because at least two require a great deal of concentration and subsequently I am resigned to reading those two on the weekends, when I have more energy and time.

On Intelligence-Jeff Hawkins, Sandra Blakesee
I figure by better understanding the natural inclinations of the brain, I can improve how I think about executing the functions of PlansForUs. Perhaps we get a natural viral boost if we model our systems on human biology. I have no idea, but this book is not a bad place to start that line of inquiry. Jeff also was the founder of Palm and Handspring, so there are some interesting insights into the brain of an entrepreneur.

Einstein: His Life and Universe-Walter Isaacson 

An exhaustive biography of a very influential man. In the age before entrepreneurship really blossomed, it would seem that Einstein had the make up of an entrepreneur. He had the ego, energy and intelligence and it is interesting to chart his path. This book is exhaustive and consequently has been slow going…however Einstein is a fascinating character.

The Kite Runner-Khaled Hosseini 

We have owned this book for some time and my wife thoroughly enjoyed it. I began the book this week as a consequence of the following two events. On Intelligence and Einstein were killing me and my wife told me that the movie for the Kite Runner was coming out soon. It is a great book and I am enjoying it thoroughly.

I hope you enjoyed the first installment of quick hits.
