Andrea, I’m impressed by your bio. I’ve been behind the curve since being born female in Appalachia in 1946. Still living under a somewhat self-imposed glass ceiling but not giving up on trying to work my cream to the top. I have a late-blooming love affair with technology and it feeds me. Thank you for being an inspiration and guide to the rest of us. Of the 5 books you recommend, I’ve only read Friedman. Also I recommend Richard Florida for the confidence to build on our creativity. Again thanks.

Thank you Donna for your kind words. I hope to live up to the expectations and goals I have set for myself. I’m determined to make my parents and family proud, which is the motivation behind all I do. (Not to mention I love it).

I will be adding more to this list as I continue to read my growing library of recommendations. I will add your suggestion to that list. I am currently spending time on “The Tipping Point” by Malcolm Gladwell, which is surely to make the list posted above.
