Great book by the CEO behind Starbucks, Howard Schultz. Starbucks is the symbol of American culture, about everything becoming Americanised, and homogenised. It's a half business book/half life story, and he's got so much drive. Who knew a kid from the Brooklyn Projects would have so much passion for expresso. This guy introduced Cafe Latte and helped expresso become famous in the Western world. A real inspiration.I've just finished reading Good Fellas by Nicholas Pillegi, another great story - I didn't even realise that it was true. And yes, the screen play was based on this book. It is the ultimate book on hustling, of a guy that grew up wanting to be Mafioso.
Also, a month ago a book about Larry Bird called Bird Watching. Its essentially a book about him, his take on basketball, life and coaching. Again, another person with a lot of drive and unique insights into the sport of kings (basketball that is).
Going to see DJ Muggs v GZA: GrandMasters tour next week, can't wait. Liquid Swords and Cold World all the way!!!!!!!
