What happens after you read a book?

With me it varies a lot.

Sometimes I’ll write a blog post about it. Depends though. For the last couple of fiction books I wrote little reviews immediately after I finished them. I think I was trying to articulate “what they were about,” or something.

Sometimes I’ll write a post that isn’t exactly about the book, but which uses ideas I got from it. When I finished The Craftsman I wrote an essay about learning, which I plan to post later to coincide with something else. When I finished re-reading History as a System last week I made a list of my “core curriculum,” which I want to blog or vlog about.

The other thing that happens almost every time I finish a book (or not finish a book) is I end up with another 5 – 10 books I want to read.

And I don’t even like reading…

These wobbly stacks beside my desk, my bed, and my big ‘comfy’ chair keep getting dangerously close to killing me.
