I found this via WWDn, it's a service called DailyLit. You pick the book(s) you want to read, and then you pick how often you want it delivered, and at what time. Obviously, the bigger the book is the more days it will take you to read it. Still, I like this for the things that read well in snippets and give you time to ponder them. (Nietzsche being a good example)
Check it out.
Ok so yesterday, I went to a park and later to a coffee place. I sat outside, and pulled out a book. The day wasbeautiful, and I really just wanted to stare at the sky and think. But I kept forcing myself to read my book. (See Right)
It is interesting, but I had problems getting into it, due to the distractions of the beautiful day.
I went home, and later on that night, after the sun went down, I sat next to my energy saver light, and read this for several hours.
At 9pm, I got to thinking about what had happened. And I realized that I am sometimes a real moron. Why force myself to try and read in a moment when my mind wants to wander? I had my Neo with me, I could have written down my ideas.
From now on, when I am outside and have that spare time, I'm not going to force myself to read. I'll save that for the sofa. When I'm outside, I'll take advantage of the mental stimulation and write.
