Note: As I have gotten older and had less 'free time' I have found it more difficult to carve out time to read. One of my friends gifted me an audiobook - and though at first sceptical of whether I would like it, I haven't looked back. It has allowed me to drastically increase the number of books I get through, though with probably 70-80% of the benefit (as I find reading helps me to reflect more easily on the content of the book). Still, a good trade off!
