All Things Books...

Welcome to my “love for reading” all-time reading list!

I have a love for reading. Ever since I could remember, reading has been my escape. My escape from school, work, stress, and some other things that have happened in my life.

A Lifetime Of Reading Books

A lifetime of reading books can be a truly enriching and fulfilling experience. Books have the power to transport us to new worlds, introduce us to new ideas, and help us understand ourselves and others.

As we grow and change throughout our lives, the books we read will likely reflect those changes. In our youth, we may turn to books that are full of adventure, fantasy, and excitement. As we enter adulthood, we may seek out books that help us navigate the complexities of the world and our place in it. And as we age, we may find solace in books that offer wisdom, reflection, and understanding.

Throughout a lifetime of reading, we may also develop certain preferences and tastes in books. Some people may be drawn to classic literature, while others may prefer the latest bestsellers. Some may enjoy reading non-fiction, while others may be more interested in fiction. Regardless of these preferences, the beauty of a lifetime of reading is that there are always new books to discover and enjoy.

Reading can also be a solitary activity, but it doesn’t have to be. Joining a book club or participating in online book discussion groups can provide a great opportunity to connect with others who share your love of books. This can also open up new perspectives and help you appreciate books in a new way.

Overall, a lifetime of reading books can be a wonderful journey of self-discovery, growth, and connection. Whether you read for pleasure, education, or both, the books you read over the course of your life will leave a lasting impression and shape who you are.

I do not know anyone who actually reads the same things as me.

In my later years, I read a lot of non-fiction books. Even though there are people who read the same genre, it is hard to find them. I do read all types of genres though I tend to stick with non-fiction most of the time. I do want to encourage more people to read non-fiction.

A great nonfiction book will inspire you to delve deeper into the topic. You will have a tendency to find more books on the subject. And a good nonfiction book will teach you to be a critical thinker and reader.

The nonfiction books on this list appeal to a wide range of readers. Others read more like novels and some are very scientific in nature. It is my hope that there is something for everyone on this list.

“The book to read is not the one that thinks for you, but the one which makes you think.”
Harper Lee

Since 2018, I decided to track my reading using Goodreads. Below is the list that I have compiled of my reading from 2018 to 2022. You will notice that most of them are non-fiction. For the year 2022, I have read some historical fiction and you will see them in the list.

Below is the list of books I have read through the years. There are books that I have read that are not in the list because I cannot remember them anymore. Way back in high school, I finished off all the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew books in my school library during my lunch break, most of them in one sitting! I remember complaining to the librarian to get more books as they have run out of books to read for me.

I hope you find the time to browse through the list. Who knows? You might find books that you have to read in the list. Thanks!

NOTE: This will be a work in progress. I will be updating this page once I have finished a new book.
