So that's the way I'm thinking of it.

So each one of these will be a hook that you can then hang a lot of other things from.

And so any of these books could become a next mini project for you.

So that's what I am endeavoring to do for you today.

But all of them also stand completely on their own.

You could read it as a one-time thing, get excited about something else and leave it on the shelf.

But the first one I have to recommend is kind of a cheat.

True to my maximalist tendencies, the book that I'm thinking of actually has the word or the number 1000 in it.

And it is 1000 Books to Read Before You Die by James Mustick, who has indeed been on the What Should I Read Next podcast.

Is this one you're familiar with, Cheryl?

Okay.

What's your experience with that?

Have you read it?

Is it sitting on your coffee table?

Well, here's why I actually really like this for you.

So it's got a couple things going for it.

Number one, you could absolutely sit it on your coffee table and read one entry or three entries at a time, say over the course of a year, which is exactly what I did.

I read, you know, however many pages I divided it out, read it over the course of a year and

highlighted the ones that sounded good to me, and then started in on reading some of those.

And I'm still in that process.
