I'm reading the Red Rising series. Super dope sci fi novels with lots of action and gore and wow moments.

Also started reading a New Earth by Eckhart Tolle. This one is heavy philosophical+spiritual content helping to bring awareness of the ego and engage in a conscious life which will result in a "new earth", the evolution of our physical realm through the process of enlightening our mental realm

that niels lyhne quote is 🔥🔥🔥! really strikes a chord when you read it. i recently started reading actual books again and it’s been mainly nonfiction so far (currently reading winners take all: the elite charade of changing the world which is v interesting so far). i also relate to reading based on mood and energy levels, sometimes ill finish a book (especially fiction) in 1-2 days but nonfiction can take weeks to a month

Would definitely recommend Niels Lyhne! I was also on a nonfiction kick for a bit but I've been doing mainly fiction lately.

The longest I've taken to read something was Obama's autobiography, which took like 4 months. I considered dropping it halfway through but I felt a personal obligation to read it to the end lol

thanks for sharing the article on career paths! appreciate your POV on substack content. always interesting to hear how others get their news. I'm currently reading lots of academic articles for work :( and a fiction book for fun ("here one moment")!

I have so much respect for people who read for work AND also find time on the side for personal reading. Was such a struggle while I was in college

like the honesty about reading the headlines for the news - it's a nice hack without getting sucked into the daily news maelstorm

i’m reading books about ultra running! i also spotted murakamis book in your stack which i finished recently 👀 that one was fun. very stream of consciousness-esque

thanks for sharing your reading plan :) this was cool. if you haven’t, i think you’d enjoy Tommy Dixon and the Honest Broker who have posts on their lifetime reading plans. those were cool to read.

also “I want to get a better job at…” should probably be “I want to do a better job at…”? i think?
