I always have a stack of books that I never get through and this looked like the perfect way to make some serious headway. It’s part because of the challenge of it and part because when I focus on how much I will learn and grow from all that reading, I get pretty excited. Julien also provides some excellent tips on making it happen for yourself.

I have started a new page on the site here where you can keep track of how I am doing. I will list the current book being read and all the past books. Feel free to jump in and join the fun! I would love to hear from you if you do. I am also going to try to post short reviews of all the books as well. Being a dad, I am trying to encourage my 1o year old Virginia to join me. She will be reading a book every two weeks and if she is successful we may record a podcast together to talk about our books and what we enjoyed about them.

I am going to try to mix up the books as best possible. Some business titles, some fiction, some non-fiction that is not business related. If you have anything to suggest, please let me know in the comments and I’ll consider it.
