Reading and Learning

Just the other day, I restarted reading good books. WOW. I'm always impressed how awesome reading is once I finally take the time to go out of my way and do it.
--> makes me think of a quote Chris Brady loves repeating: "You don't know what you don't know. You forget a lot of stuff you know. And you know a lot of stuff that isn't so." - Specifically here, it is forgetting stuff that you knew. I've 'known' that reading is awesome. Once at the beginning of 2012 I even read 7 books in 7 weeks. But, once I broke the habit, I forgot how great it was!

Have you ever been reading a book, and really enjoyed the book, but for some reason stopped reading it? Have you ever just gotten tired of an author? Without knowing it, that happened to me! I have just stopped reading some books - that I had been learning a lot from - for seemingly no apparent reason! Chris Brady, the same one from that previous quote, is a best selling author and top ranked leadership expert. I read a blog post of his a while back on reading, but hadn't implemented it until this time. And what a difference it made!
