Are there other genres you want to explore? The Toronto Public Library and many other libraries provide free access. I recommend looking into free ebooks and audio books from Over Drive. Buying books can become expensive and during COVID-19, some people are not comfortable borrowing books from friends or the library.The list can be flexible and include reading forms like articles, magazines, audio books, graphic novels, etc… Do what works for you and what you enjoy!.On the notes application in your phone? In a journal? On a piece of paper on the side of the fridge? Decide where you will keep your books read list.I enjoyed the book and I felt like I learned a lot about the ups and downs of starting a business. As an individual who likes to exercise and owns some NIKE products, I was interested in finding out how this company became internationally successful and iconic. Shoe Dog is a memoir written by Phil Knight, the founder and CEO of NIKE. This book was recommended by a friend and on the bestseller list. In the end, I settled upon Shoe Dog by Phil Knight. I also pursued books lists created by my favourite celebrities, Indigo and the New York Times Bestseller List. It was a relief to discuss something other than the pandemic. My friends were so happy and enthusiastic to share about books that they enjoyed.
I began by asking friends what they could recommend. I took it upon myself to try to find something non-fiction that would interest me. I thought to myself, “it’s COVID, don’t be so hard on yourself, reading is your escapism.” However, it kept on bothering me that I wasn’t reading any non-fiction.
Several months later when I reviewed my list, I noticed that I had read many non-fiction books. As the months have progressed, I am now able to see all the book titles I read, and take pride in my feeling of accomplishment. The internal pressure was relieved and I fell back in love with reading. I noticed that there were days that I read more than 100 pages and other days where I read nothing. I thought her idea of recording books read versus reading 100 pages daily was a lot more attainable and satisfying.
My sister then told me about her year-long goal of recording all the books she has read. I turned to my sister to discuss how I was feeling about this pressure to read. As a result, this internal expectation took away the joy and relaxation that I got from reading. I started to put gentle pressure on myself to read at least 100 pages a day, especially during COVID-19 (what else was there to do besides binge watch Tiger King?). In the last few years (around the time I got my first iPhone), I noticed I am unable to concentrate as well as I used to. For me the ultimate form of relaxation is reading, especially before bed.
