My number one New Year’s resolution this year was to start reading more. I set an aggressive goal of reading one non-fiction book a week, for an entire year. I call this my “52 Books in 2008″ series and will update this page as I add new books to my collection. Each link will take you to a detailed review of the book. If you are interested in started a reading hobby of your own, I have some ideas for keeping your costs down. If you need motivation to start a reading program remember the words of Charlie “Tremendous” Jones, “You are the same today you’ll be in five years except for two things: the people you meet and the books you read.”

Great idea, I love a good book, good dose escapism or postive attitude and motivational reading always changes my perspective.
May well have a go at 40 books in 2008.
Great Resolution! I too made the resolution to make more time for reading but my resolution is to read 25 books for pure fun and enjoyment. I read soooo many books for work and so many ‘self help’ books that I wanted to make time for those books that offer nothing except escape, relaxation, and a good story.
In fact, I’m off to the library this afternoon to pick up a few books- though I’m sure a few financial books will make it home with me today too
Excellent concept — You’re going through many of my favorite books and some that I’ve wanted to read. Would highly recommend “Automatic Wealth” by Michael Masterson – more off the beaten track and direct than most, from someone who has done it rather than just write about it.
Cheers
Good site!!! Thank you!
It’s a great list but what happened to the other books for the rest of the year?
