It is not always necessary in today’s world to sit back and read good social media books. That said, it never hurts to learn more.

That way as the weather gets a little cooler outside and the rain and the snow start to hit us more and more I thought I would recommend a few social media books that along with a cup of java or tea will make the time passed be useful and enjoyable. Here are a few social networking books that can help you grasp the online world with a little bit of plain vanilla medieval technology.
