“the man who doesn’t read has no advantage over the man who can’t”
– Mark Twain
My take on e-books, kindles etc. is they are shit. Just buy a real book. With a physical copy you no longer spend all day looking at a screen. Most books can be picked up for under a fiver from both of these websites; World of books www.worldofbooks.com & Abe books www.abebooks.co.uk. For brand new books, go to a Waterstones or better still your local bookshop. Avoid Amazon. Book shops need your help.
Top 3:
- The Almanack of Naval Ravikant – Eric Jorgenson
- Essentialism – Greg Mckeown
- You can just do things – Jay Yang
