I finally got back on track with my general reading this year, and even though I didn't manage to read as much as I used to, I at the least managed to read a little more than in the previous year. Who...

Having a plan might help me to stay on track with my reading in one way or the other. The other day I finished reading Ernest Hemingway's classic "The Old Man and the Sea" and enjoyed it a lot and sin...
This year hasn't been the best (turns out I started last year's post pretty much the same way) for my reading habit but I got at the least some reading done. One reason could of course be that there h...
For some reason the year 2023 hasn't been the best year for reading and it took me quite some time to get started and get into the flow. Eventually I managed, but it took some took some time. That being said I managed to finish some books at the least.

The stats from Goodreads came in the other week and I was happy to realize that I reached my reading-goal for this year. I didn’t succeed with big fanfare though, as I just nailed it with 17 out of 17 books.
I remember how I realized at the end of last year how few books I have managed to read during that year. In fact I was even a little bit shocked about it. So something had to be done and I challenged...
At the end of last year I wrote a piece about my inability to read as much as I would like to, and I kind of challenged myself to improve on this. Suffice to say, that it is not there where I would li...
I really like to read. Or phrased a little better: I really would like to like to read more. The sad truth is that, even though I buy books regularly, I hardly manage to finish two or three books a ye...
