In 2024, I challenged myself to accelerate my learning by reading a book (usually a biography) a week. To date, I’ve done it for 80 consecutive weeks. I wanted to share what I was reading and also keep track for myself, which was difficult (see here), so I created a Library section on this site. I added to it all the books I’ve read since my book-a-week habit began in March 2024, and I’ve committed to adding my latest read to the Library every Sunday (see the latest here).

That left the books I’d read before 2024 unshared and untracked. I set a goal to add my old reading to the Library over time. It began with a Memorial Day Challenge to add five books (see here) and continued with my challenging myself to add two books every weekend until my backlog is gone. Quite recently (see here), I decided to up the pace so I can finish this project well before the holidays—and begin another one!

This past weekend was my sixteenth weekend, and I added four more books:

• The Goal by Eliyahu M Goldratt and Jeff Cox
• Red Notice by Bill Browder
• The Frackers by Gregory Zuckerman
• The Smartest Guys in the Room by Bethany McLean and Peter Elkind

That’s the latest update on my weekend goal. I hope that sharing these books will be of value.
