How to read 100 books
It made me
smarter
 "Reading 100 books is just something that takes time and a little persistence."
How I did it: I read all the time, so it was just a matter of time before I got this far. There's no real trick to it, it just takes dedication, and alot of books! (or access to a library) Resources: Used bookstores that sell paperbacks for twenty-five or fifty cents. Oh yeah.

How I did it: As an avid reader and a self-made recluse, I read an average of 3 - 6 books every month. Glad my partner also enjoys reading or we'd have a problem as I'm often found doing day to day tasks with a book in hand. Read how I did it…

"Child 44", Tom Rob Smith
1 week ago
As a glimpse into Stalinist Russia, this book is fascinating. It follows the lives of MGB agents and their families, the layers of paranoia and secrecy that surround them and the way they rationalize that terror in their everyday lives.
As a serial killer mystery, it starts out gripping and then becomes disjointed and unconvincing. It actually comprises surprisingly little of the book.
The author is much more interested in the portrayal of Stalin’s Russia than in the mystery, and it shows. The result is a very uneven book that ends abruptly and disappointingly. But the characters were so interesting that I still don’t regret reading it—I just wish it had done more with itself.
