Hi, my name is Michael. I’m doing Marketing in Asia, based in Shanghai. How did I get here? It’s a long story. A few years ago, when I was still in college, I developed an Amazon addiction (Non-fiction, thanks for asking). This site is my therapy, a place where I can read, and discuss the best books, and share them with you.

In the United States alone, there were over 280,000 books published last year. Most people in North America probably read less than 5 books last year. This is why we need book reviews. Your average 250 page business book will take you about two weeks to finish. I don’t want people wasting time with bad, stupid or uninteresting books. Not only is it wasteful, a terrible book can actually discourage smart people from reading. It’s hard enough to pull ourselves away from Youtube, Videogames, TV, Movies, etc. We don’t need bad books ruining the market for writers everywhere. I’ll try my best to point avid non-fiction readers in the right direction, highlighting the smartest, most engrossing and thought-provoking books I can find.

For your first book, click over to the the 21tiger Recommended Books section; I’ve included Amazon links at the bottom of the post, so you can pick them up. Be sure to get a Kindle, if you haven’t already. While you read through all these recommended books, I encourage you take lots of notes right on your device; I know you’ll have tons of great ideas while you read these, and will want to refer back to them later. What was an arduous task with hardcover books (scribbling shorthand notes on the inside cover, and highlighting great passages) is an absolute breeze with eReaders. When you’re done with your first 21tiger recommended read, come back here and comment on the post, letting us know how you liked it, and what you got out of it.

Then it’s time to click through and get started on your next one.

Cheers,
Michael A. Robson
