Can You Learn to Love Reading
I picked up Learn to Love Reading by Alex Wieckowski after learning about his site, Alex and Books. I like books and figured I’d find a kindred spirit, then I noticed his book and was ready for an insightful look at how to turn reading into a passtime you love. Unfortunately that’s not what I…
