Most of the books I’ve read in the last 5 years or so have been fiction. I rediscovered the fun of reading shortly after arriving in Taiwan. A friend and co-worker had the complete (at that time) “Left Behind” series. Because there had been so much hype and the fact that I had some time on my hands I decided to give them a try. I read like 8 books that summer; the whole series. I really enjoyed them. That got me started reading for pleasure again. I had become burned out on reading after reading a few too many bad self help books.
Anyway . . . I just finished a self help book. The first one I’ve read in a really long time. I’d like to recommend it to anyone who sometimes feels overwhelmed by their to-do list and or inbox.
