My method of reading which I started at the beginning of the year, was to always be reading a few books at a time. Since I only like to read non-fiction, these are all different genres so I don’t get them mixed up. And when I finish one book, I start another in that genre.
These are the genres I’m reading & learning about all the time: (16)
Biography, business/leadership, character, communication, general knowledge, health/fitness, history, learning, philosophy, pop culture, productivity, psychology, cooking, relationships, science/technology, & sociology.
Since I've only joined this group this late in the year, I'll add what I've already read.
