Four Books Worth Reading

I’ve been getting a lot more books to read lately. Publishers and PR folks, and a few selected authors who are friends, must think reading and reviewing books is part of my job description. The good news is, I like reading the books. The bad news is that I don’t have time to do so at this volume.

However, I have recently finished a couple of books worth letting you know about. And I’m halfway through another I can tell you is worth the price of admission. Instead of writing everything down, I figured I’d talk about them and show them off in an episode of Social Media Explorer TV. Enjoy.

The books I review in this episode include, 18 Rules of Community Engagement: A Guide for Building Relationships and Connecting With Customers Online by Angela Connor; Connection Generation by Iggy Pintado and Six Pixels of Separation by Mitch Joel. Andy Sernovitz’s new addition to Word of Mouth Marketing isn’t out yet, but you can find out more when the new book hits shelves by visiting his blog at http://damniwish.com.

The previous book reviews I mentioned are for “Trust Agents” by Chris Brogan and Julien Smith and “The New Community Rules” by Tamar Weinberg.

    Have nearly finished Connection Generation & highly recommend this as a resource for anyone looking for historical insights.

    Can't wait to read Chris Brogan's Trust Agent's ---- just love his stuff.

  • Jason! Thank you so much for the kind words about my book. I guess it IS an airport book. Never thought of it that way. It sure didn't feel like it when I was slaving over putting it together! Really, I'm glad you found it of value and interesting enough to share with your readers. Many thanks.

  • My pleasure, dear. Good stuff and practical knowledge for people out there. Well done! It's one of the few books I will keep my copy of instead of passing it along. Of course, I'll buy a couple copies to distribute. ;-)

    Jason:

    Thanks for the recommendations. I look forward to starting off with the 18 Rules book. Currently finished reading Twitterville and am in the middle of Trust Agents.

  • Glad to help out Scott. Enjoy the reading and thanks for chiming in. Good to talk to you this week.
  • I bought The new Community Rules based off your review and am finishing up Trust Agents. Have 6 Pixels and will have to read that after Community Rules.
  • Great, Craig. Be sure to report back and tell me if you thought they were useful. My reviews may be helpful, but I'm not a professional book reviewer or anything. Thanks, man.
