I am happy to say that today I managed to finish two of the seven books I was reading. First, I finished the enormous biography of Alexander Hamilton, by Ron Chernow. That’s an extremely detailed account of a great man who was controversial out of faithfulness to his beliefs. One clear takeaway from the book is that good writing requires dedication not only to the task but also to reading. This has further convinced me of its importance in personal development.
The second book was a light one, Cuckoo’s Calling, by J.K. Rowling. While it wasn’t exactly my preference, I read it anyway and plan to continue with the rest of the series due to its popularity within my family – it’s the talk of the dinner table.
Overall, it was a good day.
