My pace has slowed because the current book I’m reading, Mastering the Rockefeller Habits, is so good I am rereading each chapter. I am also attempting to apply some of the lessons to my business which is basically amounting to homework. It’s a process which does not allow me to consume 100 pages in a sitting. I read about 30 pages and then need to think about it for a few hours.

I don’t plan to “go back” to make up time. 52 books is a stated goal, but even more it’s a guidepost. A beacon to guide my behavior for this year.

Plus, I’ll be going to Italy in March. I imagine with 40+ hours of scheduled travel time I’ll be able to tear through a few novels for pure enjoyment.

Oh, and I ordered four more books from Amazon today. These books are all VMware related. I’m sure those reviews are anxiously awaited!
