Let’s be honest: domaining is a business that despite the excitement it delivers when a sizable sale or a superb purchase is achieved, it lacks the real flavor of other industries.
Where am I getting at?
To succeed in domaining, one needs inspiration from various different sources and a lot of it comes from reading.
Here is the DomainGang list of essential reading to assist and inspire you during the dull tasks of domaining; feel free to suggest your very own list of “best sellers” suitable for domainers.
NOTE: These are NOT books *about* domains and domainers – and that’s the whole point of the list: to make you step aside from domaining and stimulate your mind.
- Deus X – by Norman Spinrad (fiction)
- Neuromancer – William Gibson (fiction)
- Count Zero – William Gibson (fiction)
- Mona Lisa Overdrive – William Gibson (fiction)
- The Hobbit – JRR Tolkien (fiction)
- The Richest Man in Babylon – George C. Clason (personal wellness)
- Palace of Dreams – Ismail Kadare (fiction)
- Monkey Business – John Rolfe & Peter Troob (tech/finance story)
- Invisible Cities – Italo Calvino (fiction)
- The Soul of a New Machine – Tracy Kidder
(technology/computers)
Some great ones on that list. I love the Hobbit and the Gibson trilogy.
Gibson’s books are what the Internet will be – some day. I highly recommend Deus X.
