Hardly any.... I'm reading stuff about real estate all the time and attending webinars. There's very little new stuff in books after 23+ years in the business. My fiction reading is my relaxation AWAY from work and real estate and I don't have enough hours for it.

I use to love to read, but I don't have much time for that anymore. Stephen King is a favorite of mine. I would read him over a real estate book anytime. I don't need to read a real estate book. I have day to day experience and AR for my knowledge.

Not necessarily RE books, but marketing and motivation type books.  About 2 to 1.  

A good short book - The War of Art by Steven Pressfield.  Discusses how resistence ruins you and how to fight back.

Shannon,
I just finished Gary Keller’s” One Thing.” I would recommend it though it is hard to implement unless you have a staff you can off load everything that is mot “the one thing.” Most RE content comes from the web or YouTube.

Like, Debbie Reynolds , I get most of my real estate info from articles via websites, blogs and e-newsletters. That is where the most current info is.  I also watch podcasts and take paid online courses on a wide variety of subjects... including real estate.  

Most of my book reading is non-fiction, whether it be Christian, historical or biographical.  I have an audible subscription, which I love because I can "read" while driving or exercising.  

I rarely read fiction any more, although I am listening to one now called "The Snow Child".
