I’ve been making goal lists for the last five years and on every one of them I’ve had a reading goal. Goal #26 this year was to read 20 books, which I accomplished in April. Of those 20 books, I’d recommend these seven:
- Superhuman by Habit
- How to Fail At Almost Everything and Still Win Big
- Dune
- Why Buddhism Is True
- A Mind For Numbers
- The Wright Brothers
- The Five Love Languages
Compared to previous years, I disliked a large number of the books I read. I believe this is a result of reading similar types of books so the information is getting repetitive. Also, after reading over 100 books the last 5 years, my standards for quality have increased.
Another issue I’ve found is that I do a poor job of remembering what I’ve read. I doubt I could give you more than a one paragraph summary of any of those seven books I’ve listed. It’d be great if I could review the things I deemed important or interesting without re-reading the entire book.
Next year, I’ll start taking notes on what I’ve read. Maybe something like what Derek Sivers does, or maybe doing video book reviews on YouTube.

Or, maybe use a book reviewing website that you can track your thoughts on a book and whether you liked it. Really, it would help you know if it’s a good read. It could be called “goodreads.com”.
