I was very much fascinated when I first found out that Bill takes a basket full of books and heads out to an island with no distractions. (this is the reason behind me calling Bill - the reading machine) Building reading as a habit is harder with the world moving towards 15 seconds short for video-based entertainment But learning can only come from long-form, I had realized this early on. Since then I had been trying to read and ramp it up little by little. It's also important as a beginner reader to understand what is fit for oneself, this can be learned by exploring. I believe in a goal-based reading: For example- Say you want to learn to build a habit of eating less junk food and get fit You could read books by keeping this objective in mind, which could help you stay motivated to keep up with reading. The other best tip that I had followed myself is to look up to someone whom you admire, it's very certain they would definitely do some sort of reading. Now taking recommendations from such a person whom you look up to can be a great way to start off with your reading journey. That's where the idea of "Inside Bill's Bookshelf" came to my mind and here I am launching it today. I haven't yet started going through all of the book recommendations by Bill. But I certainly know that today is the best day to start. Let's find something for you to read. 🤗 AMA, happy to answer Say hi 👋 to me Balaji Rao https://twitter.com/balu14012001

@mavlonbek_muratov That is not the part of the plan. To be frank I have no proper plan. I just built this out to solve my problem of discovering Bill's book recommendations without getting distracted on YouTube. Basically a source of book reviews from which i can pick books for myself. Then I thought this might help more folks so when on to publish this. If you do have better plans to suggest I would love to hear from you

Frankly speaking these are the same book recommendations he has already published on his YT account.

@kristoffer_sinicki Yup you are right, I had myself checked out these videos on Bill's youtube channel. I really think there needs to be a better discovery experience without distraction and a all at one place platform. I had build this out in just a couple of hours to solve a problem for myself and thought of launching it as it could help more folks
