And the books for uni…

Yeah, I read alot. But I want to finish at least 52 books a year, so I´m barely hanging on to that.

so does everyone else

people read a lot but don't list them all in one go.

btw, why have you set a goal of reading 52 books a year?

Well, looking at the history of this thread, the last time you listed a book was sometime in november. A slow reader are we?

I´m not saying i´m a fast reader, since these books i´ve read over the past two months. But being my first post, I decided to post the bunch.

The 52 books a year is just to have some goal. One book a week is just something I think you are able to reach quite easily without putting every other activity of yours on hold. Some books take a few weeks, other a few hours, but in the end I think one book per week is a good avarage.

Lost Continent was the one I enjoyed most too. The other one was the collection of articles he wrote for The Daily Mail's Night and Day magazine when he first moved back to America, I can't remember the name. Again, a really nice and distracting read.

He does know about the development of language though and I've heard that he really gets into that in some books, is that what Made in America is like? I was going to order the ones I haven't read from Amazon as they'll be good to have around for journeys and so forth as, like I say, a distraction.

nah mate, I read about a few books since then, just haven't bothered listing them. But since your're asking

Beermat Entrepreneur
From Acorns
What is Packaging Design
Sales on a Beermat
Finance on a Beermat

Listened to a few audios by Chris Gorman, Karan Bilamoria, etc

Anyway, I don't think you really need a goal for reading books, it's just for enjoyment. If you want to read a book read it, because setting a goal to read x amount of books and getting there isn't really much of an achievement.
