Books on the list for 2011

Over at my personal blog today, I shared the list of books I read in 2010. There are a lot of business books on there, but plenty for fun and serendipity, too.

I’m working to read a book a week again this year, and I’ve already got a number of books queued up. Here are ones I’m planning on. Let me know if you have any suggestions to add to the list!

First, here’s one that I accidentally left off my list of read-in-2010 [bringing my total to 35!]. A great book if you want a primer on search application design theory:
