Mark Batterson really challenged me in a recent blog. He said he's on track to read 100 books by year's end. That's about 2 books per week. I'm lucky to read 2 books a month.
I'm not a fast reader. Check that...I'm not a reader. But I know a good leader is a learner. This year my goal is 20 books. Don't make fun. How many will you read?
These are things I will do to make the process easier:
1) I'll choose 5 or 6 books, then pick the most desirable and put it last on my list. It's a motivator...like a hanging carrot.
2) I've made a goal to read 2 chapters each day. At that pace, I should be able to read at least 1 book per week.
3) I get a good mix of books (leadership, family, biographies, spiritual, etc). This keeps it interesting.
4) I read authors who write in a way I enjoy. It makes reading enjoyable. Really...it is possible.
5) I try to find books that have unique formats (Uncensored by Jeanne Mayo). Anything other than black and white pages stimulates my brain.
