Reading

Quick Poll:

How many books did you read in the last month?

 How many books did you read in the last year?

Let me know via any channel you have.

Ryan Holiday seems to read a lot. He writes about it, including the blocks to doing so, in How to Read More — A Lot More. But the fun quote, for a slow reader like me, is his statement “Even though I read hundreds of books every single year, I actually read quite slow. In fact, I read deliberately slow…”.

He has a kinda secret. You can find it if you are interested.

If I had to steal books to support my reading habit, I would.
