I got through almost 50 books last year, which is about what I got through in the previous three.

The first trick was giving myself permission to stop a book I started in 2023. I’m about to start trying to finish it again later this week. The biggest was finding myself with too much free time which I don’t recommend. But all the physical books I read were strictly for pleasure and not self improvement. The half dozen books I consumed in the latter category were as audiobooks, and half of those were Goldratt, who cheats anyway by making his entire book into a fictional story about the moral of the book. Essentially a parable.

If you want to read a lot, then do it to have a good time.
