How about some real books?

- Narziss & Goldmund, by Herman Hesse

- One Hundred Years of Solitude, by Gabriel Garcia Marques

- Crime and Punishment, by Dostoievsky

- The Trial, by Kafka

- L'étranger, by Albert Camus

If you want to build your character, read the real stuff: fiction.

I've read all of them except the last one. And I can assure that it's definitely a good stuff. And makes you think more than a little. Which is also a good stuff.

The Stranger is a wonderfully annoying book. Well, the book itself isn't annoying its more the character that annoys me... and the light imagery.

A telltale sign to me that a person is slimy is if he uses the phrase "build character". Funny--I had never been aware of this until now.

Would add the Book of Proverbs in there if you are talking about building character.

If only reading books really did build character, our nation's book reviewers would be character machines.

These books are only slightly better than telling someone to read Who Moved My Cheese or Good to Great.

You should read great books because you want a different perspective and will hopefully be entertained; don't read a book because you think it will make you a better entrepreneur.
