Not enamored with the 100 book goal.... In reality it's about making reading a lifestyle habit. Though once you read 100 books you're probably not gonna stop.

Agreed. The most important thing to take away from this is to make reading a part of everyday life.

In fact, my advice would be to read everything you can get your hands on, and then keep going.

I read 3 books a week. I've learned a bit, but not much that's affected my life directly in a practical way.

Obviously, I do enjoy it though.

Have you considered what books you choose and the efforts you make to apply what you learn from it?

I can't begin to quantify what I've learned (note: I wrote the post) and much of it is because of what books I chose and the effort to apply what I read.

Good point. The books you read seem to be a mix of technical and life improvement. The books I read are chosen from the New Book section and I avoid books that would require too much thinking (as I read to relax on the weekend!)
