		fear91 on May 24, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Books Every Entrepreneur Should Read You won't learn anything good from reading books. Nothing, in written form, can prepare your for hardship of entrepreneurial life - it is tough, unpredictable and every case is unique. The only thing I read are (auto)biographies of successful entrepreneurs or books written by successful CEO's. I don't need to know insights of some theoretics - they usually don't know shit.

Would you read a book about JAVA written by someone who never wrote a 1 line of code? Only looked what others did?
