Here’s what I’m reading in April:
These are all great books.
I love the mesmerising poetry of Cloistered. The language is beautiful, heavenly; I smile as I read. I will miss this author when I finish this book.

Still reading Schwarzmann’s What it takes.
Also reading Superhubs, by Sandra Navidi.
Plus this super whisky book, A Sense of Place, by Dave Broom.

Re-reading Stephen Schwarzman’s What It Takes.
First go was around three years ago.
Good book. I like the writer’s easy, humorous style.
I also think it’s a great business book.
Well, this particular experiment lasted no more than two days.
I don’t think I can restrict myself to reading only one book at a time. I’ve given it a try, but it doesn’t work for me.
I’ve already added another book to the January list – Nicolas Cole’s The Art and Business of Online Writing. Didn’t mean to buy it, but he writes so compellingly. I read the Kindle sample, and have now decided to read the whole book.
I know I won’t be disappointed. And I’m actually happy that the experiment failed.

I’m normally reading more than one book at a time. This is great for variety, but can lead to “mental clutter”, if such a term exists.
So, for January, I’ve decided to experiment by reading just one book at a time, and making sure I’m done with it before starting another. Coupled with breaking my social media habit, this should lead to a more focused approach for my reading.
I’m currently reading The Power Law – Venture Capital and the Art of Disruption, by Sebastian Mallaby. It appears to have been well researched, and it’s quite an easy read. The author has a smooth storytelling style, and handles the subject-matter well. I’m only a few days into it, but I like this book.
