   In January 2016 I listened to 4 podcasts (2 with Naval Ravikant and 2 with Derek Sivers) on Tim Ferriss show that provided me with 1) some ideas how I can change my reading habits, 2) list of books that were interesting to me.

   Here is the list of tips from Naval that I tried and that worked for me:
   
  
positive.code: However, I have never read or watched Harry Potter because the first book was published in 1997 and it came few years later to Ukraine. 
  By that time I was mostly done with this genre.
  
  ### Middle school
  
  During this stage, I read most of the things we were reading for the school program but sometimes on my own schedule. 
  A lot of works I read before the program because again I had a lot of free time on my hands and some I discovered outside of school (e.x. at my parent's or grandparents' library). In this period I read mostly classics of French, Ukrainian, and Russian literature (XVIII and XIX centuries), I read also some science fiction for the first time and I read a decent amount of books about WWII, about partisans, about resistance. I read also other historian adventures about cossack, pirates etc. Occasionally I would pick up some random books like Viktor Suvorov's explanations of Soviet and world history of the XX century.
  
  The main theme during this stage was history (which I enjoyed a lot) and some adventures but by real people.
  
  ### First transition
  
  During my high school years I moved to the big city, it was the beginning of 00’s years, the country was very different. We had a lot of TV channels, radio stations, cinemas. There were a lot of things one could do after school. The environment changed dramatically. I also lost some personal interest in books. I still read most of the works for the school program, but it was rare that I would find a book that I would read with the joy for few hours per day. Basically, my taste and interests changed but I wasn’t able to find a replacement yet. School program was of no help. We read usually something I wasn’t interested that much at the moment. Topics were unappealing to me.
  
  
negative.code: Mix and match books, read a fiction book and then non-fiction, change topics etc. 
  It happened to me at least once during the year one book reminded me so much of the previous one that I just stopped reading it (however I plan to come back to it later).
  
  ## New problems
  
  This year is already one of the best in terms of reading for me personally. I don't think I've read that much since middle school. However 10 months after starting reading again I noticed several new problems.
