2016 Journey through Books

 In my early years, I always saw books as something that only "Nerds" read. Who wants to get smart anyway right?  The books that I read and had the word Comic in front of it. When, I did give in to reading books, I ventured into titles such as Star Trek: The Next Generation - Xmen Planet X. As ridiculously awesome as the title seems, it was actually a very fun read. Here is a synopsis of the book if you would ever like to read it for yourself, Star Trek Cross Over .

The biggest influence and only reason I kept wanting to read books, was because I saw my aunt reading books all the time when I was growing up and to me she was the smartest person I knew. I just took the long road to get to books that would change my life and help me evolve into the person that I am today. My shift has gone from great comic books, to sci-fi, to now reading books for knowledge and insight.  NOW I thirst for the knowledge within each page and always looking for that 1 idea that will change my mindset.  Each book on development and insight, has many pages of great content, but usually only have 1 or 2 key ideas that will help mold and shift your mindset.

Throughout these last 10 years I have read many many books, but never really kept track of the key ideas that I have learned from each book. With that being said, in 2016 I will document my journey of each book I read. I will also rate the book, which will soley be my own opinion on a scale of 1-5 start rating, 5 being the best.

Criteria for rating:

• Was their great value within the book
• Ease of read for the average reader 
• Is the books message clear
• Was the book Fun
• Would I read anything else that the other produces
• Would I follow the author on social media if still alive

Again these will be my opinions, and some will not agree with my point of view and  that is OK.

We embark on a journey of 36 books in 12 months!
