Wallace’s 2018 reading list.

F45FDEC7 3470 498C 9BB7 85B8A0F662BF

Late 2017 I identified that the #1 activity I wanted to dedicate myself to in 2018 was learning.

One of the ways I wanted to do this was to reconnect with reading. Below is the list of all of the books/audiobooks I have consumed in 2018.

I set the goal of 36.5 books. (One every 10 days) Turns out I was shooting a little low. In reality, I went silly and ran through that number in June.

Most of my notes from these books are in my journals, If you’d like to know some key take aways or recommendations, leave a comment below!
