Maxims, Morals, and Metaphors: A Philosophical Guide to Venture Capital
All the basics of VC, but more fun to read and much more likely to stick with me over the years as compared to some other "nuts and bolts of VC" books you'll find. This book comes across as VC 101 from the true practitioners perspective.

Generous giant "Google" is kicking in $10 million to get those with the great ideas pitching in to lead the planet hugging way. Work on an idea while you are commuting to and from work, waiting in line, or sitting in the dentist's chair. You could be the first in a long line of "greenpreteneurs" ! I have already submitted my idea, but the more is truly the merrier in this case.

This small pad was one of the first products I received as a ThisNext maven. Review: I have used this notbook for everything from jotting down notes and numbers to a food diary and my final decision is --- it's a small notebook like any other. The one bonus that does come in handy is the cord that binds the notebook together. This means when I throw it in my purse or stuff it in my jacket pocket the pages don't get all bent out of shape. Other than that ... it's just well, paper. I just noticed a weekly planner made by this company recommended by this user. I'd love to get my hands on one of those!!

I may be slightly biased in favor of this book because Wired threw an incredibly kickass launch party for it back in July, but it really is a very well-written book. I'm not the most business-savvy person, but this was very easy to read and understand. As for the innovation of the idea, it's the sort of thing that I feel like someone else would've gotten to if Anderson hadn't. He just happens to have been the first person to put it into words.
