We Only Have So Many Books.

I heard somewhere that in a human lifetime, even one who reads consistently will likely not read over 1000 books. Our time and our books are limited. So here is something I've begun doing. 

Before I start a book, I ask myself, why am I reading this? 

I then write down the answer on the front page. 

When I finish reading, I ask myself what am I taking away from this, and how am I going to apply this to my life. 

Try doing this.

I assure you, it will change your reading experience and your life. 

Our books, like our time, are limited. Be smart and be cool. 

-Sincerely, 

BenE
