BOOKS I LIKE I don't have any favorite authors per se' because I don't normally read whole books. Don't get me wrong I read all the time, but I read articles online and I read excerpts of books because I have good intentions but I fall asleep and never seem to make it through them. :-) My favorite types of books would be Self Help, Entrepreneurial, Motivational and Travel.
