\/>\nIn January, I promised to read more books. Prior to 2012, I might have barely started a book each year. The last book I finished was an assignment to me in grade school so I had gone without reading for 7 years. I&#8217;m not a fan of fiction so I picked up a few books that appealed to me. Some are fiction but not all. Here are the books I&#8217;ve completed from January to May 1st:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd?asin=B004CNGLYA\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The 4-Hour Body<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd?asin=B002V8KMO8\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Autobiography of a Yogi<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd?asin=B004966PJQ\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd?asin=B002V0RHKS\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Complete Stories of Sherlock Holmes, Volume 1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd?asin=B006M52TH4\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Art of Manliness: Classic Skills and Manners for the Modern Man<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd?asin=B00721O894\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd?asin=B002V9Z1DE\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Prophet &amp; The Wanderer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd?asin=B002V0QUOC\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Man&#8217;s Search for Meaning<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.audible.com\/pd?asin=B0040J17CW\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Adventures of Huckleberry Finn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-Complete-Homebrewing-Third-Edition\/dp\/0060531053\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Complete Joy of Homebrewing<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In total, I&#8217;ve spent as much time as possible taking in these books. 4-Hour body and The Prophet &amp; The Wanderer I went through twice so I could take in as much as possible. I&#8217;ll probably read The Prophet again on my flight to Amsterdam in a few weeks.<\/p>\n<p>I pick books that are classics in they take me back to another time such as Sherlock and Huckleberry Finn. I also pick books that take me to another part of the world such as Yogi and\u00a0Behind\u00a0the Beautiful Flowers. Most importantly, I try to find books that expand my understanding of myself. I want to understand more about why I am this way both the good and the bad and this comes from books that talk a great deal about psychology.<\/p>\n<p>I would have liked to read twice as many books this year but have been lacking mostly because I spend a great deal of time reading news and opinion on today&#8217;s world. I&#8217;ll do a better job at balancing that since reading is so new to me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In January, I promised to read more books.
