2019 resolution : Books edition
I've been using goodreads.com to track what I want to read and what I read for the last two years. At some point, there was a reading challenge on goodreads, which I participated in in 2017 and 2018. As you can see here , I more than exceeded my goal in 2017. I almost reached my 2018 goal, which you can find here .
But, if you look closely, you'll notice that there are times of the year when I read voraciously and there are times of the year when I don't touch a book. Or times when it takes me a month or more to read a book that usually takes me no more than a week, at best.
That's what I want my 2019 reading challenge to be. Not the number of books I read but read regularly. Read every month. Every week. Every day.
Further, I spend a lot of time reading articles online, both short articles related to tech news which don't take more than a couple of minutes per article and long form reports that take anywhere between 30 minutes and an hour. I've wanted to cut down on the time I spend reading short articles for more than an year now. Let's see how well I do on that end.
Finally, you'll also notice that I read a lot of comic books. A LOT! While I love reading comic books, I would definitely like to get back to reading more non-fiction. And maybe a little fiction too, preferably science fiction.
Let's see how that goes.
