Sometimes I get what I need out of a book after only reading the first part, or I realize the book&#8217;s not for me, so I stop, or there is another book I&#8217;m more interested to read\/finishing at the time.<\/p>\n<p>Reading more than a book at a time allows me to switch around depending on my mood, if I need some light reading, or if I have time to read through something a bit denser that needs more of my attention.<\/p>\n<h2>My List of Books for 2022<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Stay Curious &#8211; How We Created a World Class Event in a Cowshed &#8211; The Do Lectures the First 10 Years &#8211; Do Lectures<\/li>\n<li>Playing with FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early): How Far Would You Go for Financial Freedom? &#8211; Scott Rieckens<\/li>\n<li>The Side Project Report &#8211; Observation and Enquiry &#8211; Do Lectures<\/li>\n<li>The Life-Changing Magic of Not Giving a F*ck: How to Stop Spending Time You Don&#8217;t Have with People You Don&#8217;t Like Doing Things You Don&#8217;t Want to Do (A No F*cks Given Guide) &#8211; Sarah Knight<\/li>\n<li>This Book Will Teach You How to Write Better &#8211; This Book is: Short, Effective, and Sort of Offensive. but You Will Write Better after Reading It. &#8211; Neville Medhora<\/li>\n<li>Omnivore&#8217;s Dilemma &#8211; A Natural History of Four Meals &#8211; Michael Pollan<\/li>\n<li>A Million Miles in a Thousand Years &#8211; How I Learned to Live a Better Story &#8211; Donald Miller<\/li>\n<li>Let&#8217;s Make Ramen! &#8211; A Comic Book Cookbook &#8211; Hugh Amano and Sarah Becan<\/li>\n<li>Let&#8217;s Make Dumplings! &#8211; A Comic Book Cookbook &#8211; Hugh Amano and Sarah Becan<\/li>\n<li>Cook Korean &#8211; A Comic Book with Recipes &#8211; Robin Ha<\/li>\n<li>The Creative Habit &#8211; Learn It and Use It for Life &#8211; Twyla Tharp<\/li>\n<li>A Year in Tokyo &#8211; an Illustrated Guide and Memoir of 13 Magical Months Spent Exploring the City of Ginkgo Leaves &#8211; Christy Anne Jones<\/li>\n<li>In Defense of Food &#8211; An Eater&#8217;s Manifesto &#8211; Michael Pollan<\/li>\n<li>What Did You Get Me?
