coleman 9 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Three months ago, I decided to spend more time reading books. I came up with a reading challenge, hoping to have finished 30 books by the end of the year. It sounded unrealistic, yet I am almost half-way through. I have never felt so good about myself before! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scatman 9 Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Congratulations! I believe that goal setting is very important. Among other things, it is very good for your self-esteem when you set a goal and meet it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boomer 8 Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 That's great, @coleman ! I have unfinished books on Kindle and a long list of want-to-reads. I'm hoping to bring down both of them next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jack25 13 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I agree with you @scatman that goal-setting is important. I used to be an ardent reader, but along the way, became a victim of reader's block. That makes the two of us @Boomer, but I'm sure we'll get our grooves back soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowEdge 48 Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Congratulations! I love to hear about it when someone sticks with a goal. I find it motivating. So, which books are favorites from the 15 or so you've read so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greylien 17 Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I started reading before I even knew what the word meant. ( It's 2 syllables. Beyond me at the time) So I don't know if I ever set goals, I just read when I can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headrush 8 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 30 books in a year is awesome. Congrats, @coleman ! I used to be sort of a bookworm, but now I mostly pick and choose online articles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coleman 9 Posted November 20, 2019 Author Share Posted November 20, 2019 Congratulations! I love to hear about it when someone sticks with a goal. I find it motivating. So, which books are favorites from the 15 or so you've read so far? Oh yes @ShadowEdge, there's nothing as fulfilling as being on course with meeting targets and goals. Each book I have read has had a unique impact, but I would single out When Breath Becomes Air (Paul Kalanithi), Dreams From My Father (Barack Obama) and Dark Money (Jane Mayer) as being clear favourites.
