It&amp;#x27;s confusing activity for accomplishment. If you do read these, keep in mind the entire time you&amp;#x27;re reading these you&amp;#x27;re not working on your startup. In other words, be very cognizant of the fact that you may very well be procrastinating.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Startup Reading List</title><url>http://www.nicolabortignon.com/startup-reading-list/</url></story>
