For the past year, I stuck to my New Year’s resolution and read a book a week which equated to reading over 52 books. The experience changed my life in a variety of ways, some less apparent than others. I mention the struggles and relay my tips so others can achieve the same. In addition, I share the best books that I’ve read over the year.

Well done! Reading lots of books is impressive, but it takes real perseverance and skill to construct a tall book tower.

@Jamesnu Год назад

Thank you! Reading hardcover books definitely made the book tower construction easier as opposed to flimsily paperbacks.

Didn't even realise you read 007 books. Even more love for you. I've still got 1st edition of Scorpius by John Gardner. Read it as a 18 year old in 1988.

@Jamesnu 2 месяца назад

Nice! Yeah, I love the 007 books. They always prove to be a good read.

Congrats on completing your goal! Reading that many books in a year is not an easy feat

@Jamesnu Год назад

Thank you so much! Yeah, it definitely was a challenge, especially for the last two months of the year.

@neilkiots 5 дней назад

have you read 'Dirt' by Bill Buford? it's a memoir of him quitting his career and moving to Lyon to apprentice in kitchens with some Michelin chefs. think you'd really enjoy!

@Jamesnu 5 дней назад

I have, and you're right! It was a very entertaining book!

@tomahern8967 Год назад

Great achievement and well done!

@Jamesnu Год назад

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it!

@sbedford9833 9 месяцев назад

Totally agree with your 3 book recommendations! (And the suggestion to throw in a few easy ones as well.)

@Jamesnu 9 месяцев назад

Thank you! I'm happy to hear it!

@johnnyafify2093 Год назад

My favorite book from your list (A Gentleman in Moscow) is a really great book so I really love you bro thank you so much for everything

@Jamesnu Год назад

Thanks so much for watching! Yeah, A Gentleman in Moscow was fantastic!

@NoahEats Год назад

Thanks for sharing! Definitely inspired me to read more!

@Jamesnu Год назад

Thanks for watching! Yeah, that's definitely my goal with this video. It's not necessarily to have everyone read a book a week, but just to read more.

@khank1539 10 месяцев назад

I have watched most of your videos.. You are an interesting person.

@Jamesnu 10 месяцев назад

Thank you! Yeah, I have a lot of hobbies and interests.

@chriswright4677 7 месяцев назад

Amazing. I love to read, too, but it blows my mind that you read this many books! How?! Did you spend every spare minute reading? Long commutes? I work a full time job, and even if I spent every evening and every weekend reading, I don’t think I could hit this many?! Please, how did you do this?! Lastly, new to your channel and loving it. Thank you.

@Jamesnu 7 месяцев назад

Thank you! It was tough, but I always have a book within arm's reach. Sometimes, I'll have a couple of minutes waiting for a call or something and I'll pick up my book and read a couple of pages. All of it adds up. Plus, I was pretty focused on what books I read so most of them weren't too long.

@chriswright4677 7 месяцев назад

@@Jamesnu thanks for getting back. Out of curiosity, are books your main entertainment or are you into Films as well?

@Jamesnu 7 месяцев назад

@@chriswright4677 I definitely enjoy films as well, but I'm not as big of a movie fan as some people. I actually have a lot of hobbies, it's just that there's only so much time in a day.

What’s your favorite book written by a chef? Do you have a favorite Bourdain book? I finished kitchen confidential last month. Thanx for posting

@Jamesnu Год назад

Thanks for watching! Kitchen Confidential is definitely a classic. I also liked Bourdain's follow-up Medium Raw, but Kitchen Confidential is still probably his best. It's hard to narrow down my absolute favorite work by a chef, but I did like Heat, by Bill Buford. David Chang's book Eat a Peach was enjoyable as well and I liked Jacques Pépin's book The Apprentice. There's a lot of good ones out there!
