Doug Marshall's Recommended Reading List

Charlie "Tremendous" Jones once said, "You will be the same person in five years as you are today except for the people you meet and the books you read. "

My recommended reading list encompasses those books that have had a profound impact on my thinking; others on the list are purely for reading pleasure. Some of the books listed include a book summary that you can download and read.

I would enjoy reading your comments about any of the books on my list, and if you have any reading suggestions for me, I always appreciate learning about books that others have enjoyed.

Have fun!

Doug Marshall, CCIM
