There are quite a few topics in the forum related to "books to read", genres, and reading in general. I just wanted to put my two cents in. I have gone from only reading forum pages and periodicals, to clearing 15+ books in 2016. That is a huge turnaround for me, and who knows what 2017 will be. Obviously, the number of books will be a function of pages & density.
two, maybe three cents
Okay. First thing i did was compiled a list of books to read. There are "place holder titles", as i don't want you guys & gals seein, what I'ma readin.
In the Queue, I use a two variable point system for priority. Seems crazy, but if I see or hear of a good book, i can note it down and not loose track of it. Some books have the same rating, so there is no need to have a fixed finite list.
The tracking list keeps me on task as I want to get on to the next book. As well, on the next Tab, I have a completed list.
I have be able to obtain a good majority of these books, either completed or on my nightstand ready to crack, from charity book sales. Not every possible book will be there but a vast majority will. If the book you want to read has millions of copies sold, it will be there. The science fiction genre is never a small section.
The local book sale is in spring and fall, walk in with a list and hit it hard. 15 books @ $3-4 a pop, you're looking at $50Bux. Done.
Kindles are dope on the go.
That is all. (Oration Completed)
If anyone wants to add, please do.
