There’s a commodity about reading in there-desk hours that gets you in the right headspace for the day ahead, no matter if it’s a new, bio, or blog post you’re digging into. Not only that, using your trip time to read is a stupendous way to burn through that Goodreads line. I read further than 100 books last time substantially by making use of idle trip time.
