Browsed through some books at MPH Publika last evening...
- Moodles presents Grumpy, moodle your troubles away
- The Pointless Book, started by Alfie Deyers, finished by you
- The Crossroads of Should and Must, find and follow your passion, Elle Luna
- The Family Project, a creative handbook, John Paul Flintoff and Harriet Green
- Better Than Before, Gretchen Rubin
- The Iceberg, A memoir, Marion Coutts
The Iceberg is a memoir written by a wife about how her husband was diagnosed with a disease, wherein he lost his voice and eventually died, contrasted and synchronised with their son learning to talk.
Better than before is about developing good daily habits. Written by Gretchen Rubin, who also wrote The Happiness Project, which I'd bought earlier, June 2014, if I recall correct. I have to read more. I'm only downloading book after book, not finding any time to read.
The other three books were activity books. Very good, indeed. I have to be able to pick up one of these, and actually do it. I think it may be difficult for me to use a book that way. Even now, I don't write on a book, even with a pencil. So, an activity book may be some distance away.
I have to be able to get through books quickly. I seem to get stuck in making notes and extracts, that delay me. But what's the use of reading if I can't recall and refer back. So I'm stuck between deciding to keep notes and delaying reading, and reading without keeping notes.
