Reflection on 2019

2nd January 2020

English

In 2019, I finished 44 books, which exceeds my target by 20 books. On average, I read 3.67 books/month, so it was around 3 books/month.

Out of these books, 26 are in English language. The ratio of fiction to non-fiction is 1 to 25. I have only read 1 fiction during last year. This is due to the fact that I prefer to learn new skills or read biographies rather than novels. Most of the books that I read are related to finance/investment as I am dabbling in the stock market. However, once in a while, I would choose books in some unrelated fields just to take in some new perspectives.

However, I feel that the ratio is too off balance. I am thinking of a ratio of 1 to 4 so that I would not overload my brain in 2020. Hopefully I will be able to achieve this ratio.


中文

我在二零一九年一共阅读了四十四本书。我的目标是月读二书,所以我已经超越目标了。我的平均阅读速度是每月三点六七本书,差不多就是一个月三本书。

四十四本书里有十八本是中文书籍,比英语书少了接近三成。在这些书中,五本属于文学类。与英文书籍比起来,文学类对非文学类的比例差异并不大。非文学类大多是一些商业管理书籍,因为我想看看如何管理好一门生意或事业。

新的一年里,我觉得应该多看点小说,或许会阅读些经典武侠小说。我也想要把中文书对英文书的必例保持在一对一。既然有了目标,那我就努力实现它吧!
