April 2026 – My Book List

Read, read, read! I am absolutely convinced that our world would be a different place if every single person from birth to death read (or listened to) at least one book every week. That would mean spending at least one hour per day reading or listening to fiction or non-fiction. that would be about 50 books per year. It would make a difference. I am a different person because I read. I look for books that expand my thinking, take me to other cultures and help me understand the world in a different way. Move your body and expose yourself to books. Try it for a month and see what kind of a difference it makes. Set a reading goal and strive to make it part of your every day routine.
