Welcome to the #datamustread Book Club, a community of data-minded individuals who share a passion for reading and learning. You might be wondering, why a book club for data enthusiasts? Well, there are several reasons.

First, as someone who loves books and data, I could never find a book club that catered to both interests. So I decided to start one myself!

Second, based on my recent experiments, I’ve found that I can significantly increase an author’s print sales by marketing their audio and e-books. As someone who loves helping great authors succeed, this is an exciting opportunity for me to showcase some of the best books on data and analytics.

But perhaps most importantly, the community on this blog is incredible. We’re a group of like-minded people who love to discuss and share insights on all things data. And what better way to do that than to read and discuss books together? Imagine thousands of people reading the same book every month, interacting with each other and the author, and sharing their thoughts and ideas. It’s an exciting prospect, and I can’t wait to see where this book club takes us. So join us and let’s dive into some amazing books together!
