I was reading through this month's Inc. magazine, (one of our favorites) and I came across an article titled, "The Business Owner's Bookshelf: 30 Books You Should Read And Put to Use."

Among the top 10 is our very own book, The E-Myth Revisited coming in at number six on the list.

'Work on your business, not in it' may be the most oft-quoted piece of wisdom in the entrepreneurial vernacular. Gerber urges readers to develop systems that allow their companies to operate even without them. This book doses starry-eyed entrepreneurs with much-need perspective.

Here are a few of their other recommendations:

• Against the Gods: The Remarkable Story of Risk by Peter Bernstein
• The Art of Start: The Time-Tested, Battle-Hardened Guide for Anyone Starting Anything, by Guy Kawasaki
• The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger, by Marc Levinson
• Brand New: How Entreprenerus Earned Consumers Trust from Wedgewood to Dell, by Nancy Koehn
• The Dilbert Principle: A Cubicle's-Eye View of Bosses, Meetings, Management Fads, and Workplace Afflictions, by Scott Adams

You can check out the article here on Inc.com or pick up the April 2009 issue and read it on page 102.
