I too had not read much in 2014; physical books. This year I decided to read physical books and have been able to read quite a few.<p>I would suggest reading some books from &#x27;A Very Short Introduction&#x27; series. Each topic is written by an expert in that field; and is about 130-150 pages. I have read books on Marx, Foucault, The History of Life. Next up is Metaphysics; followed by Logic, Planets and Fractals. I am enjoying reading these in a cafe!
