Episode 683 - Book Review: Someday is Not a Day of the Week

On Saturday, I completed my fiftieth book read this year.  My totals are now:

Why do I bring this up? Simple. If you look at my life, some will say I’m a loser. I’m currently unemployed, haven’t paid most of my credit cards since being laid off, not a homeowner, and turn 51 years of age this November.  So, what does touting your reading totals have to do with any of that? Great question. What it has to do with that is most people struggle to finish four books in a year.  I’ve heard the critics, it’s impossible to read that many books or you aren’t retaining information, I like to read one book a month, so I get more out of it. Noise. All of it is noise.  It’s hard to dedicate time to reading and nothing good comes from easy. I read books that make me a better human or professional and I do it at an aggressive clip.

The second reason I share my findings is because I want you to look at me as an example of yes you can read more. If Troy can do it, I surely can is the phrase I would love to hear more people say.

Ok, enough of the disclaimer, here are the top five books read of the first fifty books in 2021.
