Reading 100+ books a year is SIMPLE ๐Ÿ‘‡ โœ… Save This For Later! โœ… Reading a LOT of books isn't complicated, but it's also not EASY. There's a lot that goes into it, as you can see. But it's POSSIBLE... Especially if you work in at least 5-10 of the above strategies. Now, why do things like "learn more vocabulary words" help? Because every time you run into a word you don't know, it SLOWS you down. But, as you read more and more books (and look up unfamiliar words in the dictionary), eventually there comes a time when you know a TON of words, and you're able to breeze through paragraphs that used to give you problems before. So, although it takes a long time (reading is a SKILL, after all), just reading a lot of books and learning a lot of words will help you read faster. Then there are things like book clubs and reading challenges. These are EXCELLENT for helping you smash reading goals. There are a TON of other strategies on here, and I don't have the space here to discuss them all, but if you have any specific questions, feel free to ask me in the comments or the DMs!

The Count of Monte Cristo is insanely popular these days (and for good reason, it's awesome!), but did you know... That Edmond Dantes is actually based on the author's FATHER? And that his father was literally a GENERAL in Napoleon's imperial army? The Black Count is the WILD true story of the REAL Count of Monte Cristo. It was EASILY one of the best books I read in 2024 (out of 100+ books), and therefore I can HIGHLY recommend it. So, if you liked... ๐Ÿ“– The Count of Monte Cristo ๐Ÿ“– The Black Count ๐Ÿ“– Cosmos ๐Ÿ“– The Law of the Sublime ๐Ÿ“– Crime and Punishment ๐Ÿ“– The Brothers Karamazov ๐Ÿ“– Fahrenheit 451 ๐Ÿ“– The Memory Police ๐Ÿ“– Can't Hurt Me ๐Ÿ“– The Upside of Down ๐Ÿ“– Relentless ๐Ÿ“– Above the Shoulders ๐Ÿ“– Leonardo da Vinci ๐Ÿ“– Benjamin Franklin Like โค๏ธ Share ๐ŸŒ Save ๐Ÿ”’ ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š And hey, if you haven't done so already... ๐Ÿ‘‰ Follow for Excellent Book Recs ๐Ÿ“– Link in Bio for My Reading List ๐Ÿ”„ Share with a Fellow Book Lover

If Message from the Middle of Nowhere hadnโ€™t been embraced by so many amazing readers, I would never have had the courage to write Message from the Hidden People. If everything goes according to plan, the new novel will go to print this fall. โค๏ธ Tag someone who should read: ๐Ÿ“– Message from the Middle of Nowhere ๐Ÿ“— Message from the Hidden People โ€ฆor both. And tell me why. I read every single comment. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. ๐Ÿ™ Love from Iceland. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ธ #book #bookgrammer #bookworm #bookstore #bookblog

The funny thing about reading is that as soon as you read ONE fantastic book, you just want to read them ALL! One book tends to lead to the next... โœ… Save This Post or LOSE IT! โœ… So if you liked... ๐Ÿ“– Influence, read Never Split the Difference! ๐Ÿ“– Sapiens, read Homo Deus! ๐Ÿ“– What Every Body is Saying, read Tell Me Everything! ๐Ÿ“– Getting Things Done, read Feel-Good Productivity! ๐Ÿ“– The Psychology of Money, read The Art of Spending Money! ๐Ÿ“– Think and Grow Rich, read Psycho-Cybernetics! ๐Ÿ“– Psycho-Cybernetics, read Free to Lead! ๐Ÿ“– The Count of Monte Cristo, read The Black Count! ๐Ÿ“– 1984, read We! What you'll find is that one book tends to lead to the next, and once you start reading more books, you're going to start expanding the range of topics and ideas you're naturally interested in. From there, you'll just have sooo many fantastic books on your reading list that you'll want to quit your job and read books all day like I do! :) Like โค๏ธ Share ๐ŸŒ Save ๐Ÿ”’ ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š And hey, if you haven't done so already... ๐Ÿ‘‰ Follow for Excellent Book Recs ๐Ÿ“– Link in Bio for My Reading List ๐Ÿ”„ Share with a Fellow Book Lover

Comment the word "PAL" and I'll send you the link to download myMentalPal, a great app (that I use myself) with guided meditations based on big ideas from bestselling books! #sponsored ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š One of the common themes of the following books is INTENTIONALITY: ๐Ÿ“– Clear Thinking, by Shane Parrish: To design a life that's truly yours, you have to be intentional about taking control of your thinking processes. ๐Ÿ“– Time Anxiety, by Chris Guillebeau: To design a life that's truly yours, you have to be intentional about where your time is going and how you perceive its passing. ๐Ÿ“– Choose Yourself, by James Altucher: To design a life that's truly yours, you have to be intentional about taking your life into your own hands and not waiting for anyone else to help you. ๐Ÿ“– You Only Die Once, by Jodi Wellman: To design a life that's truly yours, you have to be intentional about thinking in advance about what you might regret at the end of your life, and doing your best to forestall those regrets. ๐Ÿ“– 80/20 Your Life, by Richard Koch: To design a life that's truly yours, you have to be intentional about turning away from the crowd, ditching the irrelevant activities they're mostly consumed by, and going your own way. You can do it. An intentional life is open and available to everybody... INCLUDING YOU. You just have to claim it. You have to be intentional about designing it. You need to keep moving forward and keep taking action. And you have to remember to enjoy the ride!

From bouncer to security guard, the one constant @themattkaramazov had was books. The guyโ€™s in love, and we respect it. Letโ€™s be real, you donโ€™t read 1,400 books if youโ€™re not serious. Give him a follow and let him inspire you as he did us.
