How Reading A Book A Week For A Year Changed My Life

For the past year, I stuck to my New Year’s resolution and read a book a week which equated to reading over 52 books. The experience changed my life in a variety of ways, some less apparent than others. I mention the struggles and relay my tips so others can achieve the same. In addition, I share the best books that I’ve read over the year.

Didn't even realise you read 007 books. Even more love for you. I've still got 1st edition of Scorpius by John Gardner. Read it as a 18 year old in 1988.

Well done! Reading lots of books is impressive, but it takes real perseverance and skill to construct a tall book tower.

Congrats on completing your goal! Reading that many books in a year is not an easy feat

Totally agree with your 3 book recommendations! (And the suggestion to throw in a few easy ones as well.)

This episode was a lovely palette cleanser, and as I’ve said previously, inspirational.

have you read 'Dirt' by Bill Buford? it's a memoir of him quitting his career and moving to Lyon to apprentice in kitchens with some Michelin chefs. think you'd really enjoy!

Amazing. I love to read, too, but it blows my mind that you read this many books! How?! Did you spend every spare minute reading? Long commutes? I work a full time job, and even if I spent every evening and every weekend reading, I don’t think I could hit this many?! Please, how did you do this?! Lastly, new to your channel and loving it. Thank you.

Hello. I liked the video. Would you care to share if you've read any old books from the early 20th century. Ive read books from Thomas Mann, Meredith Nicholson, Booth Tarkington, Stefen Zweig, and Roman Rolland. What have you learned from the novels that you have read?
