New Year Resolution

Last year, I had made a resolution to read at least one non-fiction book in a week.

I was able to meet my target not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially.

Was able to read 42 books…the book reviews can be found here

I intend to follow this resolution this year also…think it will broaden my horizons to read non-finance books also.
