In a Nutshell: How to deliver presentations that captivate your audience instead of putting them to sleep.  
Real World: Check out the video of my final class project presentation implementing the techniques covered in the book.

Best Features: Step-by-step instructions with real-world examples.  Technique is as easy as 1,2,3...Great Opening, Streamlined Content, and Great Closing.  

Mood: Mix of motivational speaking + business casual.

Reason for Reading: Required book for my class at UCLA, "New Business Development - Pitching the Perfect Presentation." 

Caution: The Kindle version I purchased was jumbled due to some sort of formatting error.  The author was kind enough to give me a free hardcopy replacement.

Best Features: 18 mini-interviews with highly successful bloggers.  Design, graphics, fonts, and paper are very appealing...so much so that I paid more for the paperback version instead of the Kindle edition.  

Mood: I felt creative and inspired after reading it. After cracking it open, I couldn't put it down.  I stayed up 'til 2 AM to finish it in one sitting!

Reason for Reading: Get ideas for GeoPivot, my new e-magazine.
