Earlier this week I asked her what she was reading. Her reply:

For work-related recreational reading:

Yochai Benkler, The Wealth of Networks, Yale University Press, 2006.
Don Tapscott and Anthony D Williams, Wikinomics, Atlantic Books, 2007.
Paul Hawken, Blessed Unrest, Viking 2007.

To take on holidays and provide some escapism in the evenings when I'm writing:

Anything Discworld by Terry Pratchett, especially the books featuring Granny Weatherwax (witches books), Sam Vimes (guards books), Moist von Lipwig (Going Postal and Making Money) or Tiffany Aching and the Wee Free Men.
