All the books (50 books) I read this year and a one-line review on them!
A Mega thread!
My last thread for 2021 🧵
#Books #Reading
Let's get started 👇
A few years back, I used to read articles which used to say a CEO read 40 books this year and I always thought how?
It's all about consistently reading a few pages every day!
2020- I read 15-25 pages(not every day) - I read 34 books in 2020
2021- I read 25-35 pages every night before sleeping and 100-150 pages every weekend
Ok, now let’s go through those 50 books 👇

Nike started off by importing high-quality, low-cost running shoes from Japan
