My aim for 2022 was to read 10 books. I thought that if I lowered the number that I might go with some different types of books. I’m not sure that actually happened.
When it comes to reading books there are two new habits I picked up in 2022 that I wish I would have started long ago.
First, I started listening to non-fiction books on audible. Usually while I walk over lunch or when driving.
Second, if I’m reading a book and I’m not into it I will just stop reading it and move on. I used to be stubborn and say that I’m going to finish it no matter what.
Anyways, here are the books I read this year. As I’ve said that I love the Charlie Parker series by John Connolly so I woudl suggest those but the series is pretty dark so it isn’t for everybody.
Regarding #7 and #9, those were on a list of books recommended by Chris Williamson. I believe in always dating your wife so I thought maybe there would something I would get out of it. Models wasn’t too bad but I thought The Way of the Superior Man was dumb. Or maybe it just wasn’t for me. I think Chris Williamson recommended that one as well but I can’t find that. I put the video of his book suggestions below.
