Reading Progress Check-In #1

What I've read so far:

When Breath Becomes Air
King of Capital - pages 1-67
Buffett: An American Capitalist - pages 1-111
Sapiens - pages 1-18
The World - pages 102-125
Big Debt Crises - pages 1-15
The New World Order - pages 1-21
Power - pages 1-17

Thoughts:
I think I need to build more discipline in terms of making sure to finish reading a book before starting another. I've been reading a fair bit, but as we can see it has been scttered across 8 books!

Some of it is attributable to the fact that there are books I read alongside my wife (one of us reads aloud, mostly me) - those are books that are of interest to both of us - in the above list, that's:

When Breath Becomes Air
Sapiens - pages 1-18
Power - pages 1-17

Clearly, I can't really pin my bad habit on this though, since this still leaves many open books. In fact the only book I've actually finished was the one listed above, not one of those I'm reading alone:

King of Capital - pages 1-67
Buffett: An American Capitalist - pages 1-111
The World - pages 102-125
Big Debt Crises - pages 1-15
The New World Order - pages 1-21

I guess I have to make this list smaller, so for the foreseeable future I'll commit to finishing the following books where I've made substantial progress, before I read any others:

King of Capital - pages 1-67
Buffett: An American Capitalist - pages 1-111

This is, of course, in addition to Sapiens and Power, which I'll be reading with my wife per some schedule that would work for us both.
