Last January, Tessie Guillermo, President and CEO of ZeroDivide, wrote in her post, What's On Your Nightstand?,

"Many of the executives I know have at least two things in common: obsessive multitasking disorder, and an avid appetite for reading. In my particular case, I am a multitasking reader. I often find myself reading three or four books at one time, almost never in chapter sequence; as well as four or five periodicals, and at least a couple of published reports and the like."

What books/magazines/reports are on your nightstand/in your laptop bag/in your beach tote?

Here a few from my pile:

• How to Change the World: Social Entrepreneurs and the Power of New Ideas by David Bornstein
• Forces for Good: The Six Practices of High Impact Nonprofits by Leslie Crutchfield and Heather McLeod Grant
• No One Cares What You Had for Lunch: 100 Ideas for Your Blog by Margaret Mason

For fun, I have Suffer the Little Children by my favorite mystery writer, Donna Leon.

Howabout you?
