Reading!

I've followed the typical path of reading a ton in elementary school until Middle / High School where it becomes an intollerable chore and the only books you are allowed to read are "classics" which no matter how good they may be, are very difficult to appreciate when your grade is being held hostage by memorizing character's names and major themes.

I've finally gotten to the point in my engineering degree where I never have to read another book again and kinda miss it now.

Anyways, point is - one book a month. Easy, punchy, measurable. Trying to make this my first new year's resolution that actually gets done. And if you have any book reccomendations I'd love to hear them, otherwise will be reading though previous #bookclub posts :)

I'd like to get around to The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi

Gotcha covered with the recs, yo! Good luck on your journey to reading more! I started this year’s fiction reading off with Asimov’s Foundation Trilogy, and am finishing up Feynman’s “The Meaning Of It All” on the non-fiction front, before I start tackling the content of the post below:

Extremely relatable. I'd love to hear what you're reading as you go, maybe it'd help me rekindle the same passion we've both lost!
