Hey, what's up, everyone?
Andrew Limbaugh here in for Marial Seguera.
I swear this is not a shameless plug, but I write the NPR books newsletter.
And, you know, every week we chit chat about books and reading and all that fun stuff.
Now, back in January, I asked people to write in about their reading goals for the year because, you know, the type of person who reads a books letter from NPR is probably also the type of person to have reading goals.
And we got a lot of responses about either wanting to read some classic books that they never got around to or reading more nonfiction.
I mean, most folks just wanted to read more, but none of those goals really mean anything if you're not working towards them, right?
NPR's Mansi Carano wrote a piece for NPR about how to set a reading goal, one that you know you can actually accomplish, which is what we're gonna cover on this episode of Life.
Kit Manso is on the pod to talk about her piece, and our conversation got more existential than I thought it would because it's more than just about reading.
It's about how we treat our hobbies, how they serve us, and what's the line between a healthy obsession and one that just gives us something else to stress about?
