This might sound boring, but I enjoy studying the habits of highly productive people. I was surprised to find that despite Bill's high tech career, he still insists on reading paper books. Reading is a habit that many of us (myself included) need to do more of. Some interesting ideas here. Thoughts?

The 2nd youtube link is the 5 books Bill Gates recommends reading this summer.

And I prefer e-books or reading the monitor. In my old age, I get eye strain from reading traditional books. 😛
