The majority of these books listed above were purchased at my local library for a fraction of the original cost.  See my 1, 2, and 3 * (start) ratings: 


Where do I buy my books? 

One cost effective method for me to buy books is by checking the "Friends of the Library" section of the local library. This is where volunteers collect books from the public and sell them for usually 50 cents to $1 dollar. Note that higher income areas will typically have a backlog of business and investing books that were purchased new by their patrons on Amazon or a physical bookstore, and then donated to the library.


Beyond the occasional must reads that I end up purchasing from a bookstore, I have grown to appreciate the ease of listening to a Blinkist summary for many of the new books I hear about. 


Blinkist Tool:

I recently discovered a new phone app that plays a audio summary of non-fiction books. The app is called Blinkist, you can also read through a brief set of summary pages. I prefer the audio summary option which is a perfect way to spend my hour of stop and go traffic to work each day.


I signed up for a one week Blinkist trial, but then downloaded the app after just one day- some tools  are just that good and effective. Try the trial version and left me know what you think. Below is the blinkist link if you are interested:
