I just finished both listening to the audiobook and reading the paperbook of Seth Godin's newest book
Tribes. Of all the books I've read/listened to this year (and the list is considerable, > 25), this one shot straight to the top of my list.
I highly recommed this book to everyone (I'm buying many copies to give away as Christmas presents). And for those of you with Audible accounts (or the willingness to create one), you can get a
FREE copy of this book
HERE. Also, if you use iTunes (blah), then I believe if you search you will find it for
$0.99.
[Correction: Looks like that was just for a limited time, it's now $5.95] Seth is a great narrator, so I almost would recommend the audiobook over the print copy... but if you're like me, after listening to it, you'll want your own print copy too.

As I was organizing the information that I've gleaned over the last year or so especially surrounding the changing web and world around us, I noticed that I was building a little taxonomy of all the books I've read/listened to. I decided to turn this into a nice little picture and share it with everyone.
I only included books that I've actually read (so note, there are a lot of other good ones out there), and only those that somehow tangentially related to Web 2.0 "thinking". I placed them on two axis (vertical=depth, horizontal=topic), and then also drew arrows where I thought one book lead well into another.
