Manga / Graphic Novels
Dragon Ball: That Time I Got Reincarnated as Yamcha!
These are the books I read for 2018 (not counting ones I skimmed at the library or Barnes & Noble).
I’ve been mostly interested in productivity and business type books, as that contains the information that’s most relevant to where I’m at in my life. 10 years ago the list would have been made up of a lot more manga and graphic novels. I need to get back to reading more graphic novels and fiction to balance things out.
Keeping a list like this is a good motivator to read more – I definitely recommend you check out the books with * by them. Most people in general could benefit from Deep Work. I don’t agree with everything in that book (the part on the harm of social media drones on too long and is one-sided) but learning how to develop focus and deep work habits are indispensable in today’s distracted world.
Thanks for checking out my list!

P.S. Having a dedicated website is becoming more and more important for freelancers, artists, musicians, and people who need to be taken seriously. I highly recommend hosting with bluehost, which is what I’ve been using for the past few years. It’s cheap, easy and efficient. Click the referral link below to learn more.
