Actually, I want to share a book list recommended by the Microsoft Library created last April for the 2009 Asian Pacific Leadership and Development Conference, a conference presented by the Microsoft Asian Professional Society (MAPS). Now I know almost a year has gone by and new books have been published since then, but it's a comprehensive list that I'm still going through and find the books still relevant. As soon as I'm completed with this list, I'll get to the newer books, perhaps a list created for the 2010 NAAAP National Convention happening later this year! :)
