Readers are sexy. Period.

According to this study, women found intelligent guys sexier than those with average intelligence. In fact, intelligence was rated as one of the most sought after qualities women look for in men according to another study .

In the era of technology, we hardly have time for books. The kind of lifestyle we are living in, everyone’s rushing to meet the deadlines.

For me it became monotonous. I wanted to pick a new hobby and that’s when I decided to READ.

In the year 2016, I took my diary and made a plan —

First 3 months —

  1. Weekly target — 10 pages a day which means around 70 pages/week

2. Monthly Target — 1 book/month

Based on a study, it takes 21 days to form a habit and 90 days to create a lifestyle. I was half-past my 2nd month, I started to realize that books started to become an addiction for me. I stopped watching TV, unnecessary scrolls on the internet or social media, all I did — Reading after my office work.
