Plenty, it turns out. She conceives an invigorating new business idea, and soon meets a cute entrepreneur who can help out. Despite their bickering, they can’t seem to stay away from success --- or from each other.

I am writing this newsletter from the Outer Banks where we are spending Spring Break. This is one of my favorite reading/writing weeks of the year. This house has a small dedicated office where I have managed to set up my desktop and a printer, and that room has a wall of bookshelves where I have moved in the books that I want to read. I wander in there to bang out emails, jot notes to myself and shop the shelves for the next book to read. I have to shoot a picture of this. It's actually quite amusing to see how I have moved in.
In the past year, how many books have you recommended to people by saying the following: “You HAVE to read this book.”?
