Dec 31 20242024 in Review - 100 Books

I read 100 books this year as a challenge to myself. The hardest part about reading 100 books in a year is fomatting them cleanly afterward on your website. The second hardest part is tracking them all. The actual activity is a cinch.

Reading 100 books this year was directly inspired from stories of Theodore Roosevelt, who read one book a day, often multiple. The thing I’ve learned about reading serious literature in quantity is that most books are phenomenally forgettable. Tiago Forte, in “Building a Second Brain”, talks about saving quotations from every book you read, either on index cards or digitally - and when you’re reading so much, thats literally all you can do to try and keep track of the different ideas presented to you.
