What is it about reading that I don’t often read?
If I don’t read, it means that I either don’t have time or that I don’t find it is as enjoyable as other means of using my free time. Recently I have been increasing the amount of time I spend reading, as I do truly believe that it is important to read in order to find out more about the world and myself.
My reading goals:
My reading goals are to read longer and more advanced books that will be able to challenge my ideas, thoughts, and views on the world. This would mean reading from a larger variety of books and reading more frequently. I would also like to include books that have the ability to support my understanding of certain subjects in school, such as reading a book that involves economics or reading a book which has historical content and significance.
I think that the most effective way to achieve this would be to set a schedule or a time frame for when I should read and for how long. This would, in theory, create a habit of reading for me, and habits are great to have.
Here is a list of books which I want to read this year:
- Lord of the rings (Series)
- Animal farm
- The art of war
- A short history of nearly everything
- Jumpstart your business brain
- Cosmos
And here is a reading table which will track my reading this year.
