I'll be studying business in college and I wanted to get ahead. Are there any books I can read now that would be helpful? If not, feel free to mention any good books you recommend.

The Economist (not a book, but its just as long).
The New York Times or the Wall Street Journal (pick one).
I also like Businessweek.

Business case studies.

Oh I see, is there an online version of those magazines or should I subscribe to them?

The Economist is pretty steep - about $100 for a yearly subscription (with a discount), but it is a very in-depth (and rather dense) weekly newsmagazine that covers all news categories (us, world, business, and science).

NYTimes is online; there's a free article limit, though. WSJ requires subscription.
Businessweek might be free online. I get the magazine though (for reading while I eat)

Yea I guess ill start with nyt though I know I will be reading the economist sometime so I understand I might have to pay it eventually. Alright well good advice!
