The Most Important Book

What is the most valuable book you can read? It has to be worth your time. It has to benefit your life. Not only your current life but also your next life. I'm referring to the Bible. If you only read one book in the future make it the Bible. It will have lasting effects. It will not only save you from much suffering in this life but also much agony in the afterlife. We live in a fortunate time. We not only have available plenty of modern translations but we also have access to digital and audible versions. And we will be judged accordingly. 

Nonfiction vs fiction

Is your reading for the purpose of entertainment or education. I suggest that you concentrate on nonfiction for educational purposes. Focus on things like textbooks which will benefit your brain. Novels can have some benefit but nonfiction is so much more beneficial. All reading is good. It is like exercise for the brain. But nonfiction gives you information that will benefit you in real life.

DIY College

Why borrow $60,000 a year in student loans to go to a college or university? All you get is some professor assigning you to read some overpriced textbook (for which he is getting a huge proportion of your money). When you can read a reasonably priced ($25 0r less) digital version of a textbook on a Kindle. Go Kindle Textbooks Website  now and see what is available. Why use your Kindle to read romance novels or mysteries when you can be reading material that will benefit you for life? True, you won't get a degree or be able to ask questions. But you won't end up with a huge student loan to pay off.
