The 2021 Book Club (Reading Group)

@Gurdev Thakur
Reading isn't for everyone. I love reading books so it comes easy to me. It is good to challenge yourself and read more than you normally would, but it doesn't do any good to force yourself to read a bunch either, if you don't enjoy it or aren't learning from it.

UPDATE:
Finished Mr. Murder by Dean Koontz last night, twas an alright/decent novel. Not one of my favorites of his, not one of his worst.
Currently reading Overcomer by David Jeremiah which is a spiritual help / faith-centered book.
Also still going through and reading Goosebumps Series 2000

 

I think in general it is likely this is a result of low attention span and difficulty concentrating. There could be more specific issues of course but regardless I'd say it may help if you don't compare yourself or judge the speed at which you're reading the material. If it is something like Atomic Habits or Deep Work it may even work better by making notes as to practical exercises you can do instead of getting through it quickly, you may even get more out of it than someone who reads more because they may have forgotten most of it and it was just a nice experience with interesting info for them but you'd be using the tools.

 

I don't see a lot of goosebumps fans on here, nice. Great books.

 

Finished: 'Chasing Love' by Sean McDowell

Currently reading: 'The Complete Life of Krishna' by Mataji Vanamali

Hello
Just wondering if anyone else is still here?

 

Currently im reading the master builder by henrik ibsen

 

I'm reading conversation casanova by Dave Perrotta, the american gods graphic novel by Neil Gaiman and Feeling great by David Burns.

 

Just finished the second book in the Pittacus Lore series as well as Jennifer Government. I'm currently reading Lexicon. An incredible piece of science fiction and Life 3.0.

 

I didn't finish it, kind of hit a mental slump and other books became more relevant at that moment in time. I like to read books when I can actually apply them and right now I'm just not feeling too social anyways. I only read up to the beginning of part two but I liked it. It's not too long of a book so I might get back around to it and dive deeper into it.

 

I started reading books because of a thread here. Since then I have read more than a dozen books.
