Book Reading List

Spent time earlier this week putting this together. Want to get through most of this list this year. 

Reading is important. Always on the lookout for new, great books. 

Here is a quick look at how I’m doing. And what I’m reading! 

 

Talking to Ideas

I read alot. Everywhere. Always. I enjoy it.

My wife says I can’t sit down without reading something. I agree sometimes it gets out of hand.

But let me explain. To me reading is a conversation. The author and I are talking to each other. If I agree I keep reading. But more interesting are the times when I disagree and still keep reading. Means one of two things happened. I’m trying to get more information or the author has piqued my curiosity.

I found I have a preference when it comes to what I read. Short, snappy sentences that get to the point. My eyes glaze over at long, wandering sentences that add little to the story. Each sentence I ask, so what? and what’s the point?

Conciseness. To be specific.

Recently, I found an author that sums up how I feel all the time. Read his work. I recommend you do, now.
