My goal is to find books that I deeply love. I also try to return to books a second or third times-often the first read unlocks a new perspective that changes how I perceive the ideas in the second read. So, each year will have a few ‘big slow’ reads, and the others tend to go pretty quick. When I find a book I’m excited about, I usually spend months reading it slowly, absorbing as much out of it as I can. My progress is spiky, with months going by with no finished books, followed by an avalanche of completion. I’m not sure why it ends up being that number, but that pace has been surprisingly consistent for me. I also have the most energy in the morning, which helps with focus and attention span.įor the last few years, I’ve read about 30 books each year. There’s something about sitting in my backyard and reading with the background of chirping birds and blue skies-it elevates the experience, and it makes the stories come alive. I still read my Kindle before bed, but I’ve found that I’m more able to absorb and enjoy the material when I read a physical book in the morning. I also read most of my books in the morning rather than at bedtime. I now primarily read physical / print books rather than digital (Kindle). This year, I picked a handful of favorites and put them into loose categories of philosophy, creativity, and fiction.įeel free to skip directly to the list below, but for those interested, I wanted to share a few quick thoughts about my reading habits:
