I love reading books and have an ever increasing list of books I would still like to read and currently not much time to spend actually reading. I came across a list of the 100 best Personal Development/Self Improvement books and thought I would share it here for others to read and select from. I've included a link in each heading in order for you to be able to go buy any of the books you would like to get your hands on straight away. Also included is a little about each book which would make a very long blog if I included all 100 so to start with have included 20 books and will do further blogs with more books over then next couple of weeks. I've read 9 out of this lot of 20 books, how many have you ready?
