More books, books, books.
Last year, I read 62 books over 52 weeks - but I was unemployed for about 36 of those weeks. I knew I would never be able to do that when employed so, this year, I settled on reading 12 books. I would only need to read one book per month and that seemed easy enough. See, I know math.
I reached that halfway through the year, so I doubled my goal to 24. At the rate I had been reading, I would reach that goal without any problems. I reached that goal sometime in September. To keep this story short, thanks to several flights across the country and frequent bus rides through the beautiful Canadian countryside, I had more time than expected and read 40 books this year.
Onto the next one.
