Easing Reading
I have been reading Benjamin Graham’s The Intelligent Investor for a couple weeks now, but I am only a little bit though it. It is an interesting book but it’s full of statistics and chronological references which make it hard to digest at the best of times.
Anyway so after pumping out a heap of programming work, then staying up late hanging with mates. I get in a mood where I just want to lounge about, “that’s fine” I say to myself, and all of yesterday to recover. However this morning I wake up and feel just as bad as I did yesterday.
I couldn’t allow myself another day written off, and my reading had fallen behind because of the difficulty of the intelligent investor, so I decided to try a more enjoyable book to get my head back in place..
This strategy worked like a charm, after progressing a good way through The Restaurant at the End of the Universe I was back in the game.
It is pretty amazing actually, an easy, enjoyable novel can take you just enough out of reality that you forget all the negative things that are going on.
